Cabaret Molotov
Event
Circus and marionettes draw closer in the poetics of flight, the marionettes without being subject to the laws of gravity and the circus artists by defying gravity. An intermittent aerial life unites the marionette and the trapeze artist.
Cabaret Molotov is a performance that is the result of an experimental work in which we try to bring our way of making theatre closer to a certain circus related poetics.
This creation is an approach to musical theatre with marionettes, a form of theatre which was very popular in Europe in the middle of the last century.
Therefore, this cabaret is a melancholic one, inspired by our memories, but enlightened by our contemporary vision of both theatre and the world.
In Cabaret Molotov, there are wandering chorus girls in love, trapeze artists, absurd clowns, one-man bands, rabbit-men, human cannonballs, cyclist bears, singing poodles, dancers and ballerinas who dance to the sound of waltzes, tangos, polkas, tarantellas and Kurt Weil’s old songs.
Did Cabaret Molotov really existed, or was it nothing more than a place invented by Vladimir the Russian, for the scenery of his love for the trapeze artist Matrioska?
