Description:
Join us in the Dust Circus camp for the shows of blackSKYwhite Aliens Circus from Russia. They will bring citizens of BRC Metropolis to their fantastic planet introducing them to some of the surreal and grotesque entities that belong in realms of darkness. Since 1988 “blackSKYwhite” has been shocking audiences in many famous international shows as Edinburgh Theatrical Festival, London International Mime Festival, Glastonbury Festival and dozens more. Finally this world famous and repeated awarded troupe comes to Burning man in 2010!
Their shows illuminate the term 'total theatre': the costumes, scenery, lighting, music and movement blend so seamlessly into a language we all recognize in our deepest emotions and dreams. In this bizarre world there are aliens and creepy crawlies that are fascinating as they twitch and squirm.
They are the products of a riotous imagination and we are as enthralled as we are repelled. There is beauty and fear, malice and mischief, magnificent creations jerking and wobbling and shuffling and slithering and bouncing around the stage. It is a dance macabre of feverish rhythms.
