Macbeth
The shear evil of Shakespeare’s bloodiest work is captured with powerful intensity in this graphically rendered cel animation.  Awash with murder, madness and dark passages, the fear and superstitions that cause those in theatre to revere Shakespeare’s Macbeth become abundantly clear.
Director and Designer: Nikolai Serebriakov

The Taming of the Shrew
Love blows hot and cold for the impulsive couple Petruchio and Kate.  Incredibly detailed puppets in elaborately decorated sets depict their stormy relationship.  This delightful Shakespeare comedy is filled with twists and turns that in the end, will determine who shall reign supreme.
Director: Aida Ziablikova; Designer: Olga Titova

Twelfth Night
All of the characters are played by imaginatively stylized puppets in a charming rendition of this beloved Shakespeare comedy.  Seamless, fluid motion is achieved through stop-frame animation creating a remarkably entertaining performance that feels completely real.
Director: Maria Muat; Designer: Ksenia Prykova
