About
founder
Tata Khachatrian
Tata Khachatrian is a producer, actress, director, playwright, and musician. She graduated from Russia’s oldest and largest performing arts university, the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Moscow. From an early age, she performed at the St. Petersburg Theatre of Musical Comedy and the Mariinsky Theatre.
She later founded her own production company, where she leads the development and production of independent projects as a creative producer.
Her play “Shagane. The Poet’s Secret” is the result of extensive archival research and personal meetings with the living relatives of Shagane Talyaan — an Armenian teacher who inspired a cycle of love poems by Sergey Yesenin, one of Russia’s most celebrated lyrical poets. Their brief but significant encounter became part of literary history, immortalized in Yesenin’s work.
The production has been recognized with three national cultural awards for its contribution to preserving literary heritage and continues to play to sold-out audiences.
In February 2026, Tata premiered “Chanel No. Stravinsky”, a story about the relationship between two iconic figures — Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky. Tata performs the role of Chanel herself. The piece explores the emotional and personal cost a woman pays for the power to reshape culture and influence the world.
Today, Tata combines her work as a producer and actress, developing international projects across theatre and film.
"A Love Story Paris Kept Silent"
As the familiar world begins to collapse beyond its walls, in an empty hall filled with the echo of music and the premonition of war, two legends meet: Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and Igor Stravinsky. Out of that night unfolds an intimate odyssey—through passion, brilliance, and the raw vulnerability of the human spirit.
Haunting the story is a figure from the past—the enigmatic Watchman, whose simple, hard-earned wisdom cuts against the sweeping drama of great creators.
Inspired by real events, the performance is not a biography but a charged dialogue between two icons of the twentieth century. Through sharp exchanges and emotional collisions, their complex relationship unfolds—revealing inner conflict and the relentless search for inspiration in an era on the brink of chaos.
Echoes of the scandalous The Rite of Spring, entwined with the elegance of Chanel’s aesthetic, shape a charged emotional landscape. Here, the stage breathes music, and every gesture and word becomes a note in the unfolding score.
"Persian Motifs," a celebrated cycle of poems by Sergey Yesenin, would not exist without Shagané Taliyan, the woman who inspired it
This production was created through a close collaboration between actress and director, rooted in archival and documentary materials. It draws on the expertise of renowned philologist and Yesenin scholar Natalya Igorevna Shubnikova-Guseva. It also reflects the research of Vladimir Germanovich Belousov, who spent many years studying Sergei Yesenin’s literary legacy and corresponded with Shagané Talyan herself.
In the course of our work, we were able to trace and connect with Shagané’s relatives. Among them is her father, Kyuregh Talyan, whose voice can be heard in the performance itself. Shagané’s daughter, Kariné—now 87 and living in San Francisco—also became part of this journey. With their support, we gained access to rare personal materials, insights, and photographs that helped shape the project.
The story begins in 1920s Batumi and unfolds across Ryazan and Yerevan, tracing the life of Shagané Nersesovna Talyan—a teacher of Russian language and literature, an Armenian woman, and the poet’s muse. On stage, her inner world comes to life: love and loss, the deaths of her father, mother, and husband, and the quiet hope for a new love—one that was mutual, yet never became a shared destiny.
Shagané appears in six poems from Sergei Yesenin’s Persian Motifs. The line “Shagané, you are mine, Shagané” became one of the most iconic phrases in Russian poetry and remains his most recognizable lyrical refrain.
