‘There is theatrical magic in this beguiling display of visual imagination’. The Independent (White Cabin)
Cult icons in Moscow and St. Petersburg independent art scenes and sought after at progressive festivals and across mainland Europe, Akhe creates a unique dream theatre of chaos. Filled with countless absurd and inspired events, its shows are packed with fantastic images and endlessly fascinating stage pictures.
Akhe returns to the Festival for the first time since its memorable White Cabin (LIMF04). Told in 2360 carefully chosen words, bizarre happenings, chemical experiments and trademark visual ingenuity, this explosive version of the Faust story is Akhe’s latest show.
Performed in Russian, with English surtitles
Please be aware that smoking forms an integral part of this performance.
Akhe also performs its post-industrial cabaret Plug‘n’Play at Shunt Vaults 14-15 Jan
Co-production: Akhe Engineering Theatre; Kampnagel, Hamburg; NET Festival, Moscow
