The Teatr na vode artistic directors are innovators of many water acts with objects.
The theatre troupe included such numbers in its performances almost from the moment of its creation. Already in 1985, in the program of the Circus on the Lenin Hills (now the Great Moscow Circus), where the newly created group of aquatic artists performed under the direction of Vladimir and Maria Maximov, a mesmerizing number with candles was demonstrated throughout the year. Later, Maria Maximova staged acts with fans, canvases, balls, umbrellas, and Gana Maximova created acts on inflatable rings, with juggling rings, with cups etc.
