"[2] The company Kyiv Modern-ballet Theatre Ltd. with Radu Poklitaru as its head was registered on July 18, 2006, and supported by the patron of art Volodymyr Filippov.

The ballet Giselle was supported by Ludmyla Rusalina (the founder of the Petrus-Media holding), a number of projects were assisted by Volodymyr Borodiansky (the then Director General of the STB (TV channel), the head of StarLightMedia group); the direct participation of the businessman Andriy Demydov made the production of Swan Lake possible.

[13][14] In March 2016 the productions of Kyiv Modern-ballet (he ballets Swan Lake, Women in D-Moll, The Long Christmas Dinner and the ballet-triptych The Intersection) directed by Radu Poklitaru were honoured with the Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine in the nomination Musical Art.

TV);[24] his Giselle is not a sweet country girl, but an unfortunate child of a big modern city;[25] the first episode of Swan Lake begins with the murderous shooting of a swan family and the subsequent care of the rescued cygnet by the infernal Lord Rotbar;[26] the story of the Nutcracker is not focused on a liitle daughhter of wealthy parents – it centers round a teenager, a backfisch who has to go begging in the cold, snow-covered streets of a big city and then has a wonderful dream, falling asleep in the open.

TV, Shakespearements, Rain and Underground were developed by the scenic artist Hanna Ipatieva, a graduate of the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture (the class of Professor Mykola Storozhenko).

[32] The scenic interpretation of productions is done in modern style (for instance, the action of the ballet Giselle is transferred to dilapidated slums of a present-day megapolis).

There is a solitary coat-rack on the stage with various clothing accessories the inhabitants of the Planets - and that coat-rack eloquently implies that all the characters are to be looked for in coils up in a tight knot or uncoils to a gigantic length like the banner of the Evil itself, who acquires the unbelievable plasticity and the scenic expressivity of movements owing to the visual effect of the performers' black-and-white costumes which become, for a few eerie moments of the ballet, parts of his flexible and omnipotent body.

In 2014, the costume artist Dmytro Kuriata joined the producing group in the ballets Women in D-Moll, The Long Christmas Dinner (both in 2014),[34] Up the River (2016), The Sleeping Beauty (2018), Viy (2019), The Little Prince (2020), and The Queen of Spades (2021).

[36] Any new production of Radu Poklitaru is always the anticipation of the Maestro's new discovery, of a new trend in the modern art of choreography and, additionally, it is the certainty of coming into contact with the eternal values of Spirituality and Beauty, Kindness and Love.

There are also the productions of Anastasiya Kharchenko, Olena Dolgikh, Olersandr Manshylin, Volodymyr Mitiev, Viktoria Tolstova, Ruslan Baranov, Petro Naku, Vladyslav Detiuchenko and Kateryna Kurman.
