About me

Maya Petrovna aka Maja Petrovna Hilcisin, is an operatic 'crossover' contra alto, film composer and performance artist. Dedicated to creating magical surrealism through her noted full length solo shows "Love songs from the violent paradise" and "Futura Monomania", Maya composes all original music and is designer of all costumes behind her shows, creating different character for each music piece which play significant role in stories behind her music.
