"Donky Khot" is a mixture of different styles - drama, stage movement, dance, song, shadow theatre, puppet theatre and happening.
The Cow is A delightfully inventive play about a railway guard’s son who begins to discover new meanings of life following the death of his beloved cow.
Cow here – is the guide to the mysterious, adult and big world. Confusion against the secret of life – this is the “child’s” story”.
“July does not seek to present the ‘human side’ of a monster. It is a necessarily fragmentary snapshot of a fractured mind. There is humor in it and tenderness.” Moscow Times
The internationally renowned playwright Ivan Vyrypaev journeys inside the mind of a murderous cannibal. Age and gender shift as the monologue is performed by a charismatic actress. Tickets: http://www.korjaamo.fi/index.php?&id=11
