"I value the visceral, the fleeting and the enigmatic in the works of art. I am looking for the subjective and the abstract, the savage and the expressive, the open and multi-layered. I am interedted in the performativity and intermediality, the temporal and spatial transcendence, crosspoints and negotiations between analog and digital worlds. Music, movement, video, light and scene: suspended, floating..."

Reviews

"A refreshingly young and new format on an ancient theme of love. The cleverly arranged sequence of works ... throws a  universal light on the theme... the evening exuderates a pleasant human atmosphere without a hint of patina or cult of genius. This is thanks to the composer, documentary filmmaker and director Valerij Lisac, well versed in the independent Cologne theatre scene." - O-Ton editorial on staged concert “LOVESONGS", Sept. 2019

"The Festival for Ancient Music has dared an impressive experiment: "Dido and Aeneas", the oldest love story of English opera with the music by Henry Purcell, staged in a multimedial fashion by the Cologne director Valerij Lisac fusing music, singing, dance and video installation.” - Rheinische Post on operastaging  “Dido & Aeneas”, Sept. 2017

"Mythology in a modern guise" and "An entertaining contemporary opera evening" - O-Ton editorial on operastaging "Dido & Aeneas", Sept. 2017

"... most impressive music by Valerij Lisac, that complements the piece perfectly." - O-Ton editorial on "HEIMAT 4.0", March 2018

»A miracle-cure for any bouts of annoyance and ill temper... A psychedelic ride through a staccato dance of film, music and picture quotes. Projectons consistently offer alternate spaces for theatre-action where 3D movie passages kidnap the party guests into Gerry's sensory delusions. Frog mutants are planning human experiments on Gerry - it’s a wild roller coaster ride.« - Die Deutsche Bühne on “Gras drüber" ("Raising Martha"), Oct. 2018

"State-of-the-art and really spectacular!" - WDR local time on staged concert "Die Tageszeiten", Sept 2016

"An outstanding evening, do not miss it... It works so well because Fürst and the musician and video designer Valerij Lisac created an evening as a long music-track with a steady beat." - KSTA on Jelinek's "Winterreise", Jan. 2015

"Opulent projections by the video-designer Valerij Lisac... provide entertaining moments with a virtual wink." - magazine "musicals" on "Anna Göldi - The Musical", Oct. 2017
