The profile of this remarkable group is given by its "guru" Anton Adasinski. He was formerly a mimer, but also a film-producer, photographer, musician as well as a care-taker. He came from Siberia. In search for his own programme he was strongly influenced by the heritage of Tatsumi Hijikata, founder of Butho. In 1987 he established a studio, and a year after together with the five chosen members formed the community called Derevo ("Tree"), and presented his first piece, "The Red Zone". Derevo was first presented in Hungary by MASZK in 1993.

Two nuns, played by Lena Yarovaya and Tanya Khabarova, dance an uninterrupted succession of scenes, depicting the transformation from God fearing saintly female to worldly, lusty woman. Black humored and eccentric in nature their pantomime and dance succeed in fascinating any audience they play for!
