Semen worked as an actor at the St. Petersburg Maly Drama Theater - Theater of Europe.
Since 2007 he has been collaborating with various theaters in Moscow and St. Petersburg as a director.
In 2015, Semen founded the Pop-up Theater, choosing a strategy: to develop a “partisan theater” by accumulating horizontal ties. The goal of the project is not only to create new performances, but also to expand the very meaning of the word “theater”, to go beyond, destroy boundaries, explore reality and become an object and subject of study by ourselves.
