Akhe
Russia The
distinctive artistic chaos of St. Petersburg’s cult absurdist
theatre group, Akhe, makes it unique in the world of visual theatre.
Sometimes quite literally exploding on stage, its shows are in
a constant state of flux. Akhe works with text as an object, creating
performances that are true ritual and often bewilderingly funny,
as well as profound and moving. Following its success with White
Cabin at LIMF 2004, Akhe returns with more bizarre props and
hand-made scenography, and another kaleidoscope of curious happenings
and fantastic images, this time inspired by Prosper Merimee’s
Carmen, with its themes of love and jealousy. ‘They
owe as much to the visual arts and cinema as to any kind of theatre.
Dizzying, dense and immensely satisfying, it is worth wrestling
with.’ Runs
