Moscow-based artist Evgeny Antufiev performs as special guest at CABARET KULTURA with V-A-C Live (15-17 September 2016)– a series of experimental events inspired by Russian early-twentieth century avant-garde theatre.
Antufiev creates an absurdist and humorous lottery game featuring his objects-as-gifts in a playfully dark performance Dead Nation: Bingo Version, taking place in Russian artist Sergey Sapozhnikov’s site-specific stage design.
With additional performances by Joanna Dudley, Sasha Pirogova, Alevtina Kakhidze and Alexandra Galkina, introduced by Dusty Limits.
Ticket price includes a free drink courtesy of ZIMA Russian Street Food and Bar. Cabaret-style seating (non-reserved).

Joanna Dudley and William Kentridge stage A Guided Tour of the Exhibition: For Soprano with Handbag.
