How a Man Crumbled
‘Art is a cupboard! We are not cakes!’
DAniil Kharms
Dive head first into the absurd world of the Russian poet, iconoclast and false moustache wearer Daniil Kharms.
Three bouffon-esque characters intent on telling ‘The Old Woman’ story let narrative escape them as comic vignettes, metaphysicalponderings and bouts of senseless violence provide constant distraction.
Expressionist silent film meets grotesque slapstick in a world where clocks have no hands and a cucumber can kill a man.
WINNER: Physical Fest Audience Award
Nominated: Total Theatre Award
