Ilya Yuryevich Shagalov (Russian: Илья Юрьевич Шагалов; born on December 14, 1986) is a Russian stage director, video artist, and film director. He is known for his work in the Gogol Center and various European theaters, particularly in integrating media technology in live performances.
Early Life and Education
[edit]Ilya Shagalov was born in Krasnodar. He showed an early interest in fine arts and technology and pursued a musical education in piano. In 2008, he graduated with a degree in theater from the Krasnodar State Institute of Culture, where he studied under Vladimir Rogulchenko. He later attended the Moscow Art Theatre School, where he studied under renowned director Kirill Serebrennikov. His classmates included Evgenia Berkovich, Alexander Gorchilin, and Filipp Avdeyev.[1]
Career
[edit]Shagalov started working as a video artist in 2004 and became a regular collaborator at the Gogol Center in 2013. He has worked on numerous theatrical and operatic productions, including *Salome* at the Staatsoper Stuttgart and *Hänsel und Gretel* at the same opera house.[2] He is known for his exploration of media technologies in a performative context, blending video art with live performances.
In 2020, Shagalov directed his first short film, The Fairies[3]. In 2022, he directed the feature film Aquarium, which was well-received at international film festivals.[4]
Left Russia in 2022. Lives and works in Germany (Berlin)
Professional Activity
[edit]Shagalov’s work spans across various forms of performing arts, including video, directing, and set design. His work explores the intersection of live performance and digital media, developing what critics have termed "responsive scenography."[5] His video designs often incorporate real-time processing and interactive elements, responding to performers' movements and musical cues. Notable productions include his work on Salome (2015) at Staatsoper Stuttgart, where he created a system of layered projections that responded to the singers' vocal frequencies, and Decameron (2020) at Deutsches Theater Berlin, which integrated live-streamed elements during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
His approach to video art emphasizes the temporal nature of digital media, often incorporating elements of chance and algorithmic composition.[7] He approaches theater as what he terms a "synthetic art," integrating various cultural forms and media. His work is characterized by a distinctive philosophy regarding the relationship between video and live performance. He views video projection as a form of "musical flow," capable of affecting audiences through both narrative and technical means.[8]
Frequent collaborator with directors like Konstantin Bogomolov and Maxim Didenko.[9]
