Kabaret Kantor at Edinburgh Fringe
Theatre
24.01.2010 - 30.01.2010
In the final week of the Fringe, Zoo Roxy's vodka flow turns from Russian to Polish as Kabaret Kantor celebrates the 80th birthday of Edinburgh Fringe impresario and legend, Richard Demarco. Demarco unleashed the uncompromising theatre and art of Polish artistic legend Tadeusz Kantor onto Edinburgh and Britain in the 1970s and 1980s.
Emilio Romero and Alexia Kokkali curate a host of Kantor-inspired performances that include Oedipage, a devised performance, which was created by the European Theatre Arts Company in the spirit of Tadeusz Kantor's Cricotages and directed by Andrea Cusumano.
Other homages to Kantor join the repertoire this week. Richard Demarco himself appears across the week to narrate his Personal History of the Edinburgh Fringe.
A share of the proceeds from Cabaret Chekhov/Kabaret Kantor are in aid of The Demarco Archive and the Demarco European Art Foundation to support new initiatives. Works from the Archive will be on exhibition at the Roxy Arts House.
The event is presented by European Theatre Arts and Red Roses Productions, in cooperation with the Polish Institute in London.
