Russian display of joy, craziness and survival strategies

RUSSIAN mime and clown theater Semianyki will bring their renowned performance “Semianyki: The Family” to Shanghai this month.

Theatre Semianyki, based in St Petersburg, is composed of the six original creators of the show bearing the same name. The artists were part of the first graduating class of the School for Theatre and Mime founded by the famed Teatr Licedei.

The show grew from a smaller sketch the troupe performed as the end of year creation for the Theatre and Mime School in 2003. The sketch was lengthened and fine-tuned into its current form in front of St Petersburg audiences at the Chaplin Club, the small theater where the students of the Licedei perform.

Their success at the renowned Festival of Avignon in 2005 catapulted “Semianyki: The Family” into the French and international touring circuit.

The show traces the joy, craziness and survival strategies of a family trapped in its own version of home sweet home.
