The Minwa-za Company is visiting Eastern Europe for the first time. They will bring their art form ? which some consider a predecessor of modern animation ? to the Merlin on November 21 and 22.
Les Sages Four will show The Orphan Circus, which features ?curiosities?, ?modified objects? and ?recycled objects?, at the Merlin on November 23 and 24.
"Les Sages Fous propose a theatre of paradoxes: grotesque and poetic, ritual and mundane, domestic and marvelous. The company recreates a lost world where the mask, the puppet, the object, and the human coexist. A theatre where images and gestures speak more strongly than words. A theatre that is as surprising and disturbing as it is wild and undisciplined," according to the troupe?s website.
