PAUL SAVIDENT: Derevo La Divina Commedia, Riverside Studios September 2002

St Petersburg's sensational troupe brings their provocative, shocking and spectacular new show to the Riverside Studios direct from their acclaimed record-breaking run at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they won a Fringe First Award. Derevo's combination of breathtaking death-defying physical theatre and stunningly magical visual imagery provides a truly unmissable evening. The company's numerous British awards include two Fringe Firsts, a Herald Angel and a Total Theatre Award.

The Show for the Circus, for four hardly seen Bodies and for the crowd of Spirits

Nodding off to sleep on a plush horse, on a playground roundabout he dreamed that he was empty

and happy and flew into the void with his back to the wall of a whirlpool...And then the road

comes full circle... Capricorn starts to sing... Time travels in both directions...

God looks in the mirror - Black and empty - And a heavy rain falls...

...the game of children and giants gives the meaning...

There is no sin in war. There is no sin in love

I am mother. I am father. I am a part

I am the whole. I am a fool

I am hope
