STALKER Australia
| Artistic director | David Clarcson |
Amateurs of science fiction from Russia know the word «stalker» rather well: a man who chooses dangerous unknown lands.
The Australian theatre company Stalker (established in 1985) for the previous decade has created street performances making fundamentally new ways in the development of street theatre. Combination of athletics and circus, acrobatics and new dancing choreography, advantages of modern lighting technologies, thunderous music, flying mechanisms and fireworks was the basis for creation of their own, quite special, bright, personal artistic language.
They master their bodies skillfully, even when the latter are raised to the 2-meter height of stilts.
they can transform scraps of sails into the magic ship carrying you away to a dangerous voyage.
They managed to combine in their performance explosive energy of Australian natives' rites with fantastic images from the future.
Stalker shows performances that shake the audience’s imagination, carry away to the world of fantasy and are unique as for their destiny: each performance is born and dead in sight of the audience after 30 minutes of life.
FAST GROUND is a performance famous all over the world. Giant figures on stilts, as if floating in the air, acquire ethereal, surrealistic outlines; retarded ritual dances are followed by abrupt excited movements.
