About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creation of a worldwide union of humans and marionettes :-)

ABOUT ME

I am an inhabitant of Petersburg in the 7th generation.
The last 30 years I spend about half of my time travelling occupied with my cultural mission.
I am one man band and a puppet theatre at the same time. Mainly I work with children, performing in schools and kindergartens. It is all about musical instruments, I play more than 20 of them. I am the only human being in the theatre, all the others are puppets. Sometimes I play street music, too.
With my theatre I've been more or less everywhere between Murmansk and Palermo.
From all these travels I also get something to write about, some funny stories comparing ways and habits of different folks.

PHILOSOPHY

Please, don't wake me up before 11 AM!!! Аnd after 11 PM don't wake me up, too, please!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Nothing special, I just try to host as much folks as I can... The problem in Petersburg is that the tourist season is very short and nearly everybody wants to come in June or July. This months my place is rather crowdy, I physically can't except all the requests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I am in since 2006, and had every sort of experience. What is common among all these stories is that each in its own way I find positive.

Interests

When not busy with thinking about creation of a union of humans and marionettes, my performances and texts I am very much interested in red wine, cheese, philosophy and aimless walks around the town in bad whether.

  • performing arts
  • red wine
  • cheese
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Night on Earth is my favorite movie, Vonnegut my favorite writer, and I like every sort of acoustic music and hate drum machines.
