Commonwealth of Taganka Actors Theatre, Theatre building in Moscow, Russia
Commonwealth of Taganka Actors Theatre is a performance venue in Moscow featuring traditional Russian architectural elements and multiple stage setups for different types of productions. The space accommodates various theatrical forms and staging approaches.
The theatre was founded in 1993 when 36 actors led by Nikolai Gubenko split from the original Taganka Theatre over disagreements about privatization and organizational changes. This separation reflected tensions between different visions for the institution's future.
The theatre presents classical Russian plays and international works that touch on contemporary social issues. Audiences come to experience performances that explore modern artistic interpretations of these stories.
The theatre sits near Taganskaya metro station and opens daily during afternoon and evening hours. Tickets are available both online and at the box office on-site.
The theatre operates as an independent acting collective that emerged from the division of the original Taganka Theatre in the 1990s. Though the two institutions reunited in 2021, this ensemble maintained its separate identity throughout the decades.
