April 21, 1996 is the date of Radu Poklitaru's debut as a choreographer - the first performance of his miniature The Point of Intersection to the music of Arcangelo Corelli, with Olga Gayko and Oleksiy Ovechkin.
The creative cooperation of the young choreographer and the leading ballet dancers of the Minsk Musical Theatre – Yulia Diatko and Konstantin Kuznetsov proved to be particularly effective.
The history of Kyiv Modern-Ballet begins on December 19, 2005, with the first night of the production Le forze del destino, commissioned by Volodymyr Filippov's Art Foundation, which involved the main creative resources of the would-be theatre: choreographer – Radu Poklitaru, scenographer – Andriy Zlobin, costume artist– Hanna Ipatieva, lighting producer– Olena Antokhina, sound producer – Oleksandr Kuriy, choreographer assistant – Anatoliy Kozlov, and a number of performers who later became a part of the permanent company.
[4] The freedom of creativity enabled Radu Poklitaru, together with the artists Hanna Ipatieva and Andriy Zlobin, to form, within a short term, the diverse repertoire of his theatre.
In 2008 the Theatre was awarded The Kyiv Pectoral prize in the nomination The event of the year for the selection of illustrious new productions: The Verona Myth – Shakespeareriments, Bolero, Rain, and The Nutcracker.
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 The Swan Lake possible.
Radu Poklitaru himself, as a dancer, used to perform in the classical version of The Sleeping Beauty starting with little pageboys, cavaliers, the wolf with the Little Red Riding Hood and up to the honourable part of the evil fairy Karabos, so I felt extremely happy, as I'd been in love with this music since childhood.
At the invitation of Andriy Boltenko, the Director General of the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Radu Poklitaru was the producer of choreographic compositions.
[6] He worked on that project in collaboration with Andriy Musorin, the former leading dancer of the Odesa Opera and Ballet Theater, and Oleksandr Leshchenko, the first prize-winner of May-dance, with over 440 performers being involved.
In 2016 Poklitaru was awarded with the prestigious Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine in the area of musical art for a number of productions: the ballet-triptych The Intersection (2012), Swan Lake (2013), Women in D-Moll and The Long Christmas Dinner (2014).
Since 2018 Radu Poklitaru has been the head ballet master of the communal enterprise Theatrical and entertainment establishment of culture “Academic `Kyiv Modern-ballet` Theatre.
The 4th season of the project presented the following masterpieces: the productions for 5 the duets: Kateryna Beliavska and Rodion Farhshatov, Halyna Pekha and Anatoliy Sachivko, Lidia Soklakova and Ivan Drozdov.
Radu Poklitaru created the main dancing turn in the feature film The Petrushka Syndrome produced by Elena Khazanova and based on Dina Rubina's novel of the same name.
