Opening the 2001 London International Mime Festival, a gripping, dense and dream-like danse macabre from Moscow’s cutting edge BlackSkyWhite company. Inspired by Russian ancient ritual, commedia dell’arte, expressionist and horror films, this swirl of movement, colour, light and pounding industrial sound rushes you headlong to the edge of the abyss. As night falls, strange clockwork dolls and giant marionettes emerge into a place of beauty and terror. A sell-out hit at the 2000 Edinburgh Festival, ‘Fringe First’ and ‘Total Theatre’ award winner. Unforgettable.
‘Disquieting
and disturbing, it reflects your fears and holds you in a trance’
