Apocalypse tomorrow is the first independent premiere by Kirill & Friends, a new theatre company that brings together director Kirill Serebrennikov and his colleagues. The play for this great example of physical theatre was written by playwright Mikhail Durnenkov together with the performers, director and choreographer - it is truly a team effort. Evgeny Kulagin and Ivan Estegneev have already worked with Kirill Serebrennikov on several projects; you can get an idea of what awaits you, from the trailer of the play Baroque, produced in Russia and recently reimagined for the German stage.
Six characters find themselves in the same room and learn that the apocalypse will happen in an hour. They record their last words on camera, undress, dress, want to have sex and don't want to die, call their mom, go crazy, eat earth, turn into animals, take care of each other, share the most precious things and - dance, literally for the last time.
