The Flying Karamazov Brothers
4 PLAY
4 Play is the title of the latest show by the Flying Karamazov Brothers, who don't fly, aren't Russian, but who are brothers, just not to each other.
From New York City, "Four Play" is the latest offering from the trend-setting Brothers. This original production, without words, is directed by the charismatic Paul Magid (direction in Europe; "Osare" and "Mutamenti"). The show is a unique blend of nouveau cirque, visual music, dance, and theatre.
The Brothers mix visual fireworks, visceral physicality, and theatrical innovation to create a postmodern sensibility where anything is possible. It is a world where the Marx Brothers meet Albert Einstein. Their method is to combine skill and scope to form a work that is passionate and kaleidoscopic. The objects, the musical instruments (traditional and invented), and their own bodies are transformed into a fresh polyrhythmic performance.
Ground-breaking and provocative, the Karamazovs use their many talents to demonstrate that the chaos and the unexpected events in our lives are the heart-beats and the magic that make us human.
A list of successes worldwide: the Helen Hayes Theatre, The Walter Kerr Theatre, The New Victory Theatre, The Lincoln Center Theatre - Broadway, New York; The Kennedy Center - Washington, D.C.; The Criterion Theatre, The Mayfair Theatre -West End, London; Carré Theatre - Amsterdam; Gaiety Theatre - Dublin; The Edinburgh Festival (3 seasons at the official festival), and many more...
