  Daniil is a theater director and composer, born in Novokuznetsk in 1994. For several years, he has been leading a music theater company, Geometry of Sound, which he founded in Russia. Through this project, he has produced more than 40 productions, including operas, performances, theater festivals, concerts, and exhibition projects. Many of these projects were co-authored with Anna Kostrikova.
  The most significant productions from this period include the site-specific opera "Hometown Residents" at the railway station during the International Platonov Arts Festival and the electroacoustic concert "Another Expression of Human" in a glass elevator at the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow.
  In 2022, as a director and composer, he produced the documentary opera "Your Father is Alive, Just Don't Talk About It" for the GULAG History Museum in Moscow, which received two National Theatre Award nominations. He also created the musical theater production "Relict" for the Venice Biennale at the Piccolo Arsenale Theater. In all these productions, Daniil works both as a director and as a composer.
Later, he moved to Zurich, enrolled in the Master's program in Theater Directing at ZHdK, and began exploring new forms and aesthetics in his staged language.
  Since 2024, Daniil, together with actress Regina Raimjanova, has been running a theater company called "3rd Echelon Theater" and has begun actively producing pieces. One of the company's first productions is the beginning of the procedural project LA-MEN-TO, a pseudo-baroque opera.
  As a composer, his works are performed across Europe by ensembles such as Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Quatuor Diotima, United Instruments of Lucilin, Lucerne Festival Ensemble, and others.
  Daniil also continues to engage in dramatic writing, creating librettos and texts for productions, as well as publishing essays. Interestingly, in his youth, he was actively involved in writing, and two books of his early literary works were published in Russia, some of which were translated and published in various countries.
    Now Daniil works and lives in Zurich.
