musical-theatrical psycho slap-stick inspired by dystopia 1984

The underground headquarters of the future society is led by the smartest animals on the world: rats! Primitive puppets. Meet them from two eyes to twelve eyes – they already know about you and they are waiting for your reaction!

The simple principle of puppet theater as a paraphrase of today's lifestyle and the power of capital as the most powerful thing. Old folk music combines experimental sound of new musical instruments.

New theatrical form – combination of puppet craft and experiment.

During a funeral dinner, amidst the sounds of glasses and quiet music of the funeral band, instead of saying farewell, the life of departed person starts to reappear. Through random movement of waiters, through inconspicuous combination of music, words and objects, the imagination of the guests reanimates the dead. Finally, even guests themselves become characters from the story of Anna Karenina.

Cabaret of Russian realism creates live dramaturgy on the basis of Russian traditions. Accordion, percussion, violin, cello, contrabass and five voices perform a metamorphosis of music and theater, cabaret and intimate scenes of moving objects. Rhythm is developing until the last moment, in which (on the brink of death) the spectator and the actor suddenly find themselves at the beginning again – at the table with a glass of wine in their hand.
