‘Is it theatre, visual art, puppetry or a séance in a scrapyard? Eduard Bersudsky is a mechanical genius’. The Scotsman
'Go see ’. The List
The product of Russian-born Eduard Bersudsky’s astonishing imagination, craftsmanship and engineering skills, Sharmanka’s kinetic sculptures and machines create dramatic sequences of movement, light and sound. Whirring and clanging, carved figures, junk-metal constructions and ancient household machinery are the protagonists in a thirty minute show about life and death, cruelty and beauty. Sharmanka’s previous London appearances have been at The National Theatre (LIMF02) and subsequently at the Theatre Museum.
