Intervista a Irina Komissarova scenografa

Irina Komissarova is a young Moscow-born stage designer who has lived in Lithuania for many years. From 2017 to 2020, she worked with award-winning director Oskaras Koršunovas, founder in 1998 of the Oskara Koršunovo Teatras (OKT) Vilnius and considered the heir to the great pillar of Lithuanian theatre, Eimuntas Nekrošius. She was struck by his scrupulous work on the text and ability to directly extract scenographic elements from it. Thus, having noticed that Koršunovas did not have a permanent set designer while working with the same composers, choreographers, and light artists, she proposed herself for the role.
