The Master and Margarita

Saw the Synetic Theatre's forceful production of The Master and Margarita, Bulgakov's Russian classic, last Saturday night. It was captivating. The show was largely done through pantomime and dance, in the Russian style, like a mini-Rite of Spring meets Dr. Faustus. The choreography was super. The staging reminded me of the Ilhkom experimental theatre in Tashkent. If you have a chance to see this troupe--and they are coming to New York City for the Fringe festival--don't miss it.
