ARTEL (American Russian Theatre Ensemble Laboratory)
After a riotous oversold presentation of the workshop production last spring, Daniil Kharms is back with a vengeance! And he is more charming, macabre, and scintillating than ever!
A mad-gang of artisanal scientists of the underground American Russian Theatre Ensemble Laboratory (a local theatrical smithy, forging inve...ntion with craftsman's precision) brings you Russian Surrealist Absurdist Comedy at its most decadent and illogical, violent and erotic. An evening of not-so-innocent pranks and antics, vignettes and dreamlike incidents set to Jef Bek's rousing musical soundscapes.

________________
DANIIL KHARMS (1905-1942) was an early Soviet-era surrealist and absurdist poet, writer and dramatist.
By the late 1920s, his anti-rational verse, nonlinear theatrical performances, and public displays of iniquitous and irrational behavior earned Kharms - who always dressed like an English dandy with a calabash pipe - the reputation of being a talented but highly eccentric "fool" or "crazy-man" in Leningrad cultural circles. He was imprisoned in the psychiatric ward at Leningrad Prison No. 1 and died in his cell in February, 1942 -- most likely, from starvation, as the Nazi blockade of Leningrad had already begun. His writings (a vast assortment of stories, miniatures, plays, poems, and pseudo-scientific, philosophical investigations) were virtually unknown until 1970s, and not published officially in Russia until "glasnost".
This production is paying respects to the avant-garde collective OBERIU, or Union of Real Art, (founded by Kharms) whose aesthetic centered around a belief in the autonomy of art from real world's rules and logic, and the intrinsic meaning to be found in objects and words outside of their practical function.
