The conventional view of the stage is obstructed by a literally-taken fourth wall. The
audience, seated in the traditional arrangement, can only see the action on stage
through a crack at the top of the wall, in variously aligned panes of reflective glass.
The piece tells the story of the drinker in the novel "Moskva-Petushki" by Venedikt
Jerofejev, portraying the drunken man's hallucination in a blend of video and dance.
Amorphous, labyrinthine, inter-flowing figures and movements are created to the
sound of dub music. The dance becomes two-dimensional and merges completely
with the virtual images. This production was awarded the IMPULSE '97 theatre
prize and, with 53 performances, achieved world-wide fame.
