In 1913 Tairov moved to Moscow.

There he joined a corporation of attorneys at law and could continue a comfortable career. Instead, Tairov established himself as an important anti-realist director. With his wife, the actress Alisa Koonen, he founded the Kamerny (Chamber) Theatre in 1914; it became the centre of experimental creativity for many Russian actors, artists, writers, and musicians.

Tairov collaborated with such artists as Alexandra Exter, Sergei Sudeikin, Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Pavel Kuznetsov.
