The Company’s History

In 1990, outside of all other networks, and after already creating, alongside other partners, the circuses Aligre and Zingaro, Igor established with his wife Lily “La Volière Dromesko” or “The Dromesko Aviary”. It’s their first play, and the birth of their company. The Dromesko Theater is supported in Rennes by the Théâtre Nationale de Bretagne (the National Theater of Brittany), under the direction of Emmanuel de Véricourt. “La Volière” will hold it’s first performance at the Théâtre Vidy in Lausanne under the direction of Matthias Langhoff. The play will be the first of a series of imaginative touring shows performed in unique venues that can be disassembled for transport from one place to the next. (353 performances in France and in Europe)
The innovation of the stage and of the performance, the animals, the gypsy music, and of the travelling shows creates the basic foundation on which Dromesko’s artistic lifestyle stands, or more simply put, a basis on which life itself stands.

Since then, and before: A long journey, many meetings, many shows :

- “La baraque, cantine musicale”, 1995 (Several modified versions shown between 1998/2001/2006) 350 shows

- Direction of the project “Regards Premiers” (First Glances) a series of four performed exhibitions linked with four national museums (oceanic, archeological, popular art, and architecture). This project, designed for pupils, was initiated by the CNDP and performed in four cities in the region Pays de la Loire. 2002/2003 (215 shows)
