ORTA is an artistic group comprising actor Alexandra Morozova and director Rustem Begenov from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Its highly experimental projects—collectively known as “The New Genius Theater”—combine theater, contemporary art, music, film, technology, and philosophy, as well as traditional crafts, customs, and ritual practices, and are based on the ideas of the thinker, artist, and inventor Sergey Kalmykov (1891-1967). In 2022, the group represented Kazakhstan at the 59th Venice Biennale.
