Cult icons in Moscow and St. Petersburg's independent arts scenes, the work of Russia's Akhe group owes as much to the visual arts and cinema as to any kind of theatre. Like all its shows, the surreal and darkly comic White Cabin is filled with countless absurd, inspired, bizarre and often touching 'events', using Russian icons, silent movies, shadow theatre, and object and avantgarde art as reference. The result is dream theatre of chaos, a crazy variety show of fantastic images and endlessly changing stage pictures.

Winner of Russia's Golden Mask Award, and now in demand at festivals all over Europe, Akhe has also collaborated on projects with well-known fellow Russian artists, Slava Polunin and Derevo.

“This is a real cat's cradle of a show… Dizzying, dark and immensely satisfying”
The Guardian

“There is theatrical magic in this beguiling display of visual imagination”
The Independent

“Hysterically funny and increasingly disquieting”
