Anastasia Skibunova, actress between drama and dance

Flora's Children is the series starring actress and dancer Anastasia Skibunova: the plot revolves around half-siblings Yura, Ruslan and Pyotr - their mother, trolley bus driver Flora, tries to unite the disparate children into a loving family. "Played by a detective. It's about the 1990s in Russia, when times were hard. My character is uncompromising, otherwise she would not have survived," says Anastasia. 

The actress also starred in the TV series Hotelier's Notes, which is broadcast on the OKKO channel. My character's name is Olga, she is a doctor," says Anastasia, "and the story is set in a luxury hotel. It was touching to shoot the scene where my character, with spaghetti in her hair, is embraced by her husband, who says, "You're a stupid girl. It was emotional, especially when it was really snowing. We shot in winter outside in a luxury hotel in St. Petersburg. My character is crazy, impulsive, insecure about herself and her husband. At first she fights with her husband, but then she fights against her insecurities and jealousy, and in the end she triumphs". 

In the theater, she starred in At the Bottom by Maksim Gorky: "In M. Gorky's original version, all the characters live in a night shelter because they are poor and homeless, but in our version, all the characters are the newly rich. Among them are former drug lords, so they are all with men and members of the mafia". The main characters own a Louis Vuitton scarf, bury a Fabergé egg, and have a signature pipe. "My character is a rich, independent woman who wants to get married to find someone who will protect her. But she can't because even her protector turns to alcohol, and her friends are dying from alcohol and drugs."

Anastasia used to dance at the Pina Bausch Dance Theater in London. She is the founder and teacher of the Riga Acting School in Latvia and director of the show "Miss & Mister Latvia". She worked twice in the TV series Nothing Happens directed by Oksana Bayrak, an Oscar-nominated Ukrainian director. He acted in the short films The Parts and Schrodinger's Code; in the film The magnificent five by Sergey Poluyanov.
