New Faust at European theatre festival in Moscow

Founded by theatre critics Roman Dolzhanskiy and Marina Davydova the event introduces the Moscow theatre-going public to contemporary European and cutting edge Russian theatre. Many mainstays in Russian theatre were discovered at this festival.
This year a project dubbed “Faust in a cube” promises to be the new discovery of the festival. The project attempts to observe, and then present the legend of Doctor Faust from different points of view.
“Faust in a Cube,” played at the Moscow New Generation Theatre, is created by AKHE, a performance art group based in St Petersburg. AKHE achieves its success with the help of different mediums such as video-art, music, movement, and theatre.
The group calls itself a Russian engineering theatre, and is known for its use of machinery, multimedia and pyrotechnics. The creations of AKHE are showcased all over the world.
For this show AKHE collaborated with actors from the contemporary Mexican theatre Linea de Sombra. Artists of both theatres are full of emotions and acting – that is why they work so well together.
