Corcadorca presents
PLASTICINE
By Vassily Sigarev
Translated by Sasha Dugdale
This year for the Cork Midsummer Festival, Corcadorca brings
contemporary Russia to the Savoy nightclub. Plasticine
was first produced at the Royal Court in 2002, and garnered
the ‘Most Promising Playwright Award’ for writer Vassily
Sigarev in the London Theatre Awards. Focusing on the life of
teenage protagonist, Maksim, Sigarev’s play exposes a world
rife with corruption, violence and anarchy.
This promenade production by Corcadorca, which is the Irish
premiere of Plasticine, promises to bring the audience on a
riveting and explosive journey.
Contains scenes of a disturbing nature. Strictly adults only!
On Corcadorca’s medEia (2009)
“In this immaculate reminder that love hurts, the
absence of yearning is emphasised only in the watertank,
in which a goldfish with a tail like a tutu wanders
in a slow metaphorical ballet.” The Irish Times
“Pat Kiernan directs this visually superb and
intellectually thought provoking presentation …
a stunningly successful vision” SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
