Emotions, laughter, poetry and a surge of tenderness flow into the audience’s hearts and eyes as the cold wind from the Russian steppes unleashes magical snow storms. Slava’s Snowshow is a not-to-be-missed performance for young and old alike.
Slava’s Snowshow is in a category all by itself, as spontaneous and magical as it was when it first premiered, sweeping adults away into a world of amazement and wonder typical of childhood.
Its brilliant creator, - award winning Russian SLAVA, winner of the Olivier and Time Out awards in London, the Drama Desk award in New York, the Stanislavsky prize in Moscow and Festival Critics Award in Edinburgh – is considered to be the “best clown in the world”, an artist who loves “a theatre full of hopes and dreams, desires and nostalgia, loss and disappointment. A theatre that eludes any single definition or interpretation of its actions and any attempt to limit its freedom.”
Slava’s Snowshow is free, lyrical, ironic, phantastic, entertaining and tender, sometimes tinged with melancholy: an evening that becomes an incredible experience, unexpected and unforgettable for a public that keeps coming back to see it again and again, like a ceremony or magic ritual.
