Sharmanka
Kinetic Theatre
Noah's
Ark
Amazing
kinetic performance art. Hundreds of tiny carved figures and pieces
of old scrap perform an incredible Heath-Robinson-meets-Hieronymous
Bosch choreography to haunting music and synchronised lighting.
Based in Glasgow since 1996, Sharmanka was established by sculptor
Eduard Bersudsky and director Tatyana Jakovskaya in St. Petersburg
in 1990. Their beautiful mechanical sculptures have been seen
at festivals and galleries throughout Europe whilst others are
in the permanent collections of such museums as Glasgow's Gallery
of Modern Art and The Royal Museum of Scotland. Sharmanka makes
its London debut with Noah’s Ark, a piece specially
created for the Mime Festival.
‘Bizarre,
hilarious, ghoulish, unmissable’. The Sunday Times
‘An icon painter for our times’.
