CULTURAL BACKGROUND
The New Stage of Alexandrinsky Theatre forms part of the mo-
dern theater complex, which was designed by the well-known
Russian architect Yury Zemtsov and was opened for Alexandrin-
sky Theatre in 2013. The main purpose of such an extension to
the oldest national stage in Russia was to create a new, tech-
nologically advanced platform for development of experimental
and creative research fields. A high-tech transformer stage,
a professional media center and rehearsal rooms, all these make
the New Stage the most attractive venue for artists and re-
searchers of innovative technologies

13. CONCEPT
A world-renowned French lighting designer, visual artist, electronical engineer and director of CON-
CEPTO (Paris, France). In 1987, he launched a new discipline called Light Urbanism and has imple-
mented more than 120 lighting master plans in France and abroad. He created recently the “Dark
infrastructure” strategy, a new method to limit the light pollution and to preserve nocturnal bio-
diversity in urban environment. He is an author of many known books and science-fiction novels.
Since 10 years, he has developed prospective researches and creative studies on the topic of the
future of urban lighting. Among his last projects are the lightings of Ceramic Museum in Sèvres
(France), the Grand Canal’s nightscapes in Hangzhou and the Inner Rivers’ nightscape in Dujiangyan
(both in China and UNESCO world heritage sites), and the new urban lighting for Shanghai Huangpu
River’s right bank (21 km long)
