Drei Spielende auf einer Bühne, einer steht in Hemd und Weste gekleidet und mit einer Schnabelmaske auf seinem Gesicht im Hintergrund. Er hält einen Koffer und eine Schatulle in seinen Händen und blickt zur Seite, im Vordergrund sitzt eine schwarzgekleidete Spielende auf einem Stuhl und hält zwei zu beiden Seiten gespannte Seile in ihren Händen. Sie blickt in einen kleinen Spiegel, der vor ihr an zwei Seilen befestigt von der Decke hängt. Gegenüber der Spielenden steht ein Mann in Hemd mit Krawatte, Weste und Hut gekleidet, dessen Gesicht zur Hälfte mit weißer Farbe bemalt ist und mehrere längst gespannte Seile mit seinem Mund festhält. Der Bühnenboden ist mit zerknüllten Zeitungen bedeckt.

Akhe (RU)

White Cabin

Can the audience influence what happens on stage simply by being there? Can the action on stage in turn control the will of the audience? Is it possible to transfer the action on stage directly into the thoughts of the audience? The protagonist of this classic performance poses these questions while being irritated and manipulated by her fellow actors. Absurd moments and poetic images are projected, playfully animated and constantly questioned.

The inventors, creators, artists and alchemists of the Akhe “Engineering Theatre” have been regular guests at the international figuren.theater.festival for over 20 years. After the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the members of the group fled St Petersburg and currently live in France and Finland. Now the production “White Cabin”, with which they were first seen in Erlangen in 2003, is being staged once again. As in 2003, they are joined in the revival by Nuremberg based actress Barbara Seifert, who has been friends with Akhe for twenty years. “A journey into the interior of the imagination, so poetic, so multi-layered and full of humour that one can only marvel in amazement.” (Erlanger Nachrichten, 14 May 2003)

Please note: Stage fog is used in the production.

Performance

Three actors on a stage, one dressed in a shirt and waistcoat with a beak mask on his face in the background. He holds a suitcase and a casket in his hands and looks to the side. In the foreground, a player dressed in black sits on a chair and holds two ropes stretched on either side in her hands. She is looking into a small mirror hanging from the ceiling in front of her on two ropes. Opposite the performer is a man dressed in a shirt with a tie, waistcoat and hat, half of whose face is painted white and who is holding several ropes stretched lengthways with his mouth. The stage floor is covered with crumpled newspapers.

Scene with two players standing behind suspended plastic tarpaulins. The players can be seen through window-like cut-outs in the tarpaulins, behind them a cut-out is covered with a drawn window curtain. An old photographic group portrait of several people is projected onto the tarpaulin, while the players each hold a mallet and a cymbal.

Two people in an arm-wrestling contest at a table, surrounded by crumpled newspaper lying on the floor. The woman is wearing a black dress, the man a shirt with a tie, a waistcoat and a hat. Half of the man's face is painted with white paint.
