Халиф Аист (Мутабор) реж. Вася Березин (Caliph Stork. Vasya Berezin)

Caliph Stork The performance is based on the Soviet cartoon “Caliph the Stork“. The performance reveals the theme of satiety, when a person ceases to be attracted to ordinary life, and he begins to demand something forbidden, incredible. In addition to Gauf’s text, excerpts from the Old Testament story about the capture of Jericho, the city into which music came and destroyed it, a medieval treatise on demonology and philosophical works by Valery Podoroga will be heard. The performance consists of three parts - “Jericho of the Soviet period“, “The Tale of Time“ and “Rituals of the Pain Period“, which are built in reverse order. The story of the Caliph the Stork is the story of one nest from which we all fell out, grew up and fly away in the hope of returning. The fallen sky on the stage is an inverted world, stuck somewhere in the subconscious. A stuffed stork under the ceiling is a reminder of death.
