Production details
The maddest tea party since Alice visited Wonderland. Three bizarre and enigmatic characters - acrobat, trapezist, and neurotic magician - flirt with mystery and disaster. They appear as if from another dimension, or from a movie by David Lynch or Tim Burton, and both their humour and their magic are black. Where truth hides behind a veil of bluff and deception, who can say what's real or not? Taking place in velvety darkness shot through with brilliant red, Oktobre sets out to bewitch. Suitable for ages 8+. UK Premiere. Running time: 70mins with no interval. Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall. Part of London International Mime Festival (LIMF)
