Living Structures presents a live theatre spectacular
UK Premiere
Pioneers of the immersive avant-garde, the international artists collective Living Structures unleash the 'Leviathan' on London following its recent success in Madrid. A homage to Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick, this is a performance installation not to be missed. Investing in telling the striking moments of the relentless pursuit of the great white whale by Captain Ahab, it's inspired by the monochrome colours, geometric shapes and functionality of Russian Constructivism.
Leviathan takes its audience through an adventurous journey using stunning landscapes, choruses of singers, giant objects, sailor aerialists and hauntingly beautiful songs that will simultaneously fill you with wonder and break your heart.
"One moment, we are transported to the inside of the whale's stomach, the next we are crewmembers assisting with the ship's chores, receiving barked orders to help carry large, indecipherable objects across the stage. Beautiful choral singing gives way to strange industrial rhythms, or discordant string notes, or screeching seagulls, or crazed chanting. Primordial colours, smoke, and wind swirl around you. Movement is expressionistic, with elements of dance and acrobatics, including stunning displays of rope-climbing."
"I can offer nothing but admiration for the professionalism, energy and audacity of this company. For no other reason than to see how far the limits of theatre can be stretched, you should acquire a ticket at the earliest opportunity."
Clive Hiley, Trebuchet Online Magazine, 30th November 2012
"Unclassifiable and unique"
"All dressed and ready for the epic adventure that awaits us, there are only nervous smiles and complicit glances between audience members. Before we know it, we're in the middle of a big ramp, surrounded by a magical and wonderful Russian choral music that takes us into a tragedy of structures, blasts and encrypted languages."
