Razvan Mazilu is the complete artist who has established contemporary dance and theatre-dance as essential forms of expression in Romania.

Constantly challenging audiences to alternative theatrical and choreographic experiences, Razvan Mazilu courageously attempts to raise the standards of performing arts in Romania to an international level.

He started his career, while still a student of ballet and choreography, as a director. Later on, after becoming nationally acclaimed as a dancer, Mazilu changed the perceptions of Romanian audiences and art critics.

He was the first director of a dance-theatre show in Romania, with ‘La Dame aux Camellias’ starring the internationally famous actress Maia Morgenstern.

He is the first Romanian ballet dancer who played a one-man dance show, impersonating four major Shakespearean characters in a one-hour performance.

He is the first Romanian choreographer who has brought dance into a drama theatre - ODEON Theatre from Bucharest, on a regular basis, in a successful attempt to demonstrate that theatre and dance merge successfully on stage.

From contemporary ballet to dance-theatre, from cabaret and musical to choreographic theatre, from tango to classics, acting as a dancer, choreographer, director or scriptwriter, Razvan Mazilu feels just as comfortable, while remaining faithful to his nature: that of a genuine artist.

And the story goes on…beyond bounds…
