Sign Language Concert – Juno and Avos 


2019, Musical Theatre, Concert, Variety show
Directed by Igor Boldyshev and Katherine Cusack
SHOW THEATRE prod.

Juno and Avos (Russian: Юнона и Авось) is a renowned Russian rock opera by Alexey Rybnikov with poetry by Andrei Voznesensky. This epic opera, based on the real-life events of 1806, tells the tragic love story between Russian nobleman Nikolai Rezanov and Maria Concepción Argüello, daughter of the Spanish governor of Alta California. The performance masterfully combines music and a symphony of lightbulbs, enabling both hearing and deaf audiences to experience the emotion and depth of this cross-sea love tale.

LOVE OF LIFE


2019, Dance theatre, Absurd theatre, Performance Art
Directed by Katherine Cusack
SHOW THEATRE prod.

LOVE FOR LIFE is part of a visually striking trilogy of theatre performances inspired by childhood literature. Drawing from “The Cat That Lived a Million Times” by Yoko Sano, Katherine Cusack reimagines this Buddhist allegory of life, death, and rebirth through innovative physical theatre. Collaborating with movement expert Alexander Schukin, Cusack transforms human bodies into dynamic tools, delivering an emotionally charged, wordless performance. The piece explores the artist’s cyclical suffering in a Sansara-like world, ultimately seeking freedom through self-discovery.

Performance at Kultursalon Berlin #12


2019, Street theatre, Contemporary Dance, Experimental, Performance Art
Directed by Katherine Cusack
Poetry by Sallie
Music by Jannik Heuser

Performance at Kultursalon Berlin #12 is an evocative blend of performance art, contemporary dance, music, and poetry, creating a powerful metaphor for a mind engulfed in turmoil. This 2019 piece confronts the often-stigmatized subjects of mental health, including depression, suicidal ideation, generalized anxiety disorder, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). The performer and author of the poems (Sallie), sharing their personal journey, relives past experiences on stage, guided by a narrator (Katherine Cusack) and enhanced by the emotive music of Jannik Heuser (Jano), composed exclusively for this performance.
