EXIT
Cabaret of live folk-electronic music combined with the sound of materials
An empty room, a priest, a puppet, paper, toys, Andersen. Puppet cabaret Exit is a daring harmony of llive folk and electric music, objects and materials, stories and their echoes.
In the performance, each object is assigned a specific musical role, with the intention of functioning as a sound instrument and thus as a living being. In this way, each object is given a meaning in its own composition, which is made up of fragments of motifs from Andersen’s stories. The leitmotifs are interpreted with the sounds of the objects, causing special kind of intimacy that constantly alternates with musical and cabaret pieces.
The production was created as part of the Puppets & Design project supported by the EU Creative Europe program.

During the funeral dinner, with the clinking of glasses and the quiet accompaniment of the mourning band, instead of a quiet farewell, snippets from the life of a past person begin to unfold. Through the random movements of the waiter, through the subtle combinations of music, words and objects, she comes to life, as does the imagination of the guests. Intoxicated by the wine, they begin to live in the past, until they become characters in the story of Anna Karenina.
Cabaret of Russian Realism builds and sets the drama with lively, animalistic, original music based on Russian traditions. Harmonica, percussion, violin, cello, bass and five voices perform a metamorphosis of music and theatre, cabaret and intimate scenes of moving objects. The rhythm rises to the last moment, in which (in front of death’s door) the spectator and the actor suddenly find themselves at the beginning again – at the table with a glass of wine in hand.
