Andrey Anatolyevich Moguchy (; born November 23, 1961, in Leningrad, Soviet Union) is a Russian theatre director, primarily known for his work in drama theatre. Since 2013, Andrey Moguchy is the artistic director of the Bolshoi Drama in St. Petersburg. As of 2016, Andrey Moguchy is a professor at St. Petersburg Theatre Academy.
Andrey Moguchy has graduated from Leningrad Institute of Aerospace Instrumentation in 1984. He has then decided to pursue a career in arts and culture and obtained a degree from Leningrad Institute of Culture as a stage director, and an actor. In 1990, Moguchy has established independent theatre company Formal Theatre.
Since 1990, Moguchy has staged productions in many of the leading theatre in Russia, and across Europe, including Alexandrinsky Theatre, Finnish Theatre Academy, Theatre of Nations. He has staged operas, including a production with Valery Gergiev, and a dance gala at the Mariinsky Theatre for Diana Vishneva.
In 2013, Moguchy has been appointed artistic director of the Bolshoi Drama Theatre in St. Petersburg. In 2018, he developed a multimedia installation at the St. Petersburg Manege honouring hundredth anniversary of the museums in former royal residencies in Tsarskoe Selo, Pavlovsk, Peterhof and Gatchina.
In 2011, he was awarded the XII Europe Prize Theatrical Realities, in Saint Petersburg, with the following motivation:<blockquote>He is a stage director. He has founded the Formalny theatre. His radical approach to the text, a daring and always unusual game with the space and the unpredictable choice of the site for each next performance, aroused bewilderment. His performances are a âÂÂterritory of freedomâ where any incredible experiments are possible. MoguchyâÂÂs experiments with synthesis of theater forms are inseparable from his quest of new dramaturgy, capable to indicate the âÂÂhurting pointsâ of our time and express them in modern language.</blockquote>
