Radical, progressive, non-traditional, cult, stylish – these are just some of the epithets given to blackSKYwhite Theatre. The company has so far staged ten plays which they toured at numerous important European festivals: Edinburgh Festival Fringe, London International Mime Festival, Glastonbury, La Strada (Graz), Mimos (Perigueux), Unidram (Potsdam), Konfrontacje Teatralne (Lublin), Contact (Torun), etc. This is their first performance in Hungary.

Triada is a journey through space and time, through a giant spiral with which we can go back to those times when our post-industrial world existed only in the imagination of artists and scientists who were considered lunatics rather than prophets. The performance, based on German constructionist ideas, is a gigantic hi-tech show which broadens the usual theatrical space into a universe. It is both beautiful and startlingly inhuman at the same time, huge mechanical dummies, biomechanisms and totally unknown species populate the stage and warn us: this time has come earlier.We can take part in a surreal journey by means of ultramodern stage technologies which open the door to a new world.This new world is waiting for us. Maybe tomorrow.

Theatre blackSKYwhite’s performances are always magical sights: computer graphics of the actor’s bodily movements, music reaching from electronics to cabaret and ethnic style as well as stunning lighting create an effect of something unreal; a world of great illusion, yet at the same time, a world that is very close and true. The cast has remained the same since the day of its founding: Director Dmitri Ariupin and actress Marcella Soltan have created, and continue to create a special technique of placing actors on the edge, between reality and illusion, where performances are more like a dream than anything resembling real life. It is difficult to identify the genre, the company’s style is perhaps closest to modern choreography in its most nonconformist form.
