Roman Boklanov (English)

I was born in Kazakhstan in 1993, and I didn’t always dream of theater. From 2007 to 2021, I studied acting and directing in Russia (NGTI, RGISI, and BTK). In 2022, I returned to Kazakhstan, to Almaty. I’ve been working in Germany with the theater Das Letzte Kleinod. I dream of staging productions in different countries and working with local contexts and audiences. My specialization is puppet theater, object theater and modern theater for children and families. I am inspired by contemporary European literature for children and teenagers.
