Biography
Early years
His mother, Galina Antonovna Adasinskaya (1921—2009), was the granddaughter of the Mensheviks — M. I. Broido and E. L. Broido.
Career
In 1982 he joined the studio Licedei directed by famous clown Slava Polunin and worked in the original cast of Teatr Licedei. From 1985 to 1988, he performed with the band AVIA (rus. АВИА) (vocals, pantomime, trumpet, guitar). Participated in the shootings of the documentary film ROCK (film) (1987) by Alexei Uchitel.
From 1984, he left Licedei and began his solo career.[1] In 1988, he organized and founded the theatre company DEREVO (Rus. - Дерево) in Leningrad which he is leading to the present moment[2]. After a few years of working in Leningrad - St. Petersburg, theatre company DEREVO kept moving its base to Prague, then to Florence and then to Amsterdam. Since 1997, theatre DEREVO has a permanent rehearsal base in Dresden (Germany) in Festspielhaus Hellerau.[3]
In 2001 he shot his first movie Süd. Grenze [4] as a scriptwriter, director and the protagonist.
In 2001 Anton Adasinsky performed as Drosselmeyer in the ballet The Nutcracker by the Mariinsky Theatre (staging by Mikhail Chemiakin).[5]
In recent years, he resumed performances with the band AVIA as a soloist, leader of gymnastic group, trumpeter, bass and guitar player.
In 2013, he was awarded the Nika Award [2][6] - The Best Male Actor for his role in Alexander Sokurov's film Faust.[7]
" If you are living for the theatre, if you are living for the performance every day, it automatically includes your lifestyle. You don’t need to jump like a ballet dancer, you don’t need to make stupid strange movements which people call dance, but if you just make clear movement, or clear energy, a clear image - that is dance for me." Anton Adasinskiy[8]
