Noordung Biomechanics is the first complete theatre show performed in conditions of weightlessness. The premier was staged in 1999 with seven actors performing to eight spectators, including theatre critics. The show was repeated once. It was carried out in co-operation with the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (CPK), Star City, under the direction of Colonel Nikolai Grekov, Colonel Viktor Ren and Major Irina Sokolova.

A dress rehearsal for Noordung Biomechanics took place in August 1999. Cosmonauts who participated in the dress rehearsal included Yuri Gidzenko, Sergei Krikalyov and Salizhan Sharipov.

Noordung Biomechanics was performed in the stratosphere in a special aircraft for parabolic flights, which is used for training cosmonauts. The parabola allows a period of weightlessness lasting 20 seconds. Each performance took ten parabolas.
