On September 5, a new production entitled “Male / Female” premiered at the Bronnaya Theater, a collaboration between Yulia Peresild and the Zero People collective. This premiere was reported to socialbites.ca by the theater’s press service.
The production marks a notable shift: Peresild herself steps into the director’s chair, a role she has explored before, but this time the piece is built entirely on songs that chart a dramatic arc. For Alexander Krasovitsky, the project represents his first on-stage acting experience with the group Zero People, a bold move into live theater that audiences and critics will be watching closely.
At the premiere, Peresild was joined not only by colleagues and friends but also by a personal circle including her former partner, Alexei Uchitel, signaling a memorable convergence of professional and personal worlds. The event also welcomed several family members who shared in the celebration and offered warm congratulations to the artist.
The guest list blended fellow artists, peers, and influencers from the cultural scene. Among those in attendance were Konstantin Bogomolov, Timur Rodriguez, Dmitry Khrustalev, Alexei Uchitel, Evgeny Margulis, Marina Alexandrova, Dmitry Iskhakov, Evgenia Linovich, Natalya and Sergey Mokritsky, Olga Galaktionova, and Nikolai Valuev. Their presence underscored the premiere as a significant cultural moment in the city’s theatrical calendar.
Peresild explained that she had spent a long time searching for material capable of supporting a dramatic performance delivered through musical means. The collaboration with Sasha Krasovitsky and the Zero People collective resonated deeply with her, since they shared an almost identical sensibility regarding the emotional force of the music. The creative agreement between artist and ensemble promises a technically precise and emotionally intense experience for audiences.
Previously, socialbites.ca reported on Peresild’s reflections about the future paths for her daughters, highlighting the personal stakes and hopes that accompany the actor-director’s evolving career. In this production, the balance between artistic risk and family considerations was evident, adding an intimate layer to a project already charged with ambition and novelty.
