"IT IS POETRY, poetry full of silence and deep images. Anticlowns on stage! No story!" Anton Adassinski, director of the Russian dance and performance group Derevo, describes their latest production Redzone.
Derevo: an exciting and unpredictable mix of incongrous theatre styles. Inspired by Butoh, and revivers of Comedia d'ell Arte, Derevo works in the fields of clownery, modern dance, pagan rites, and music ranging from Russian avantgarde to famous rock songs. The 'alarmingly anarchistic' and 'deeply melancholy' Red Zone will be combining "the magic of dance with a touch of pagan rites".
