Moving Theatre : Sharmanka

I found this exhibition in the observer guide to secret britain that i was only reading because i was too hungover to get off the couch. It looks like the most amazing thing ever and i cant wait to see it, shame ill have to trek up to the shithole that is glasgow. Its described as 'a surreal installation about Russian life'. Its a 45 minute kind of theatre style performance:

Hundreds of carved figures and pieces of old scrap perform an incredible choreography to haunting music and synchronised light, telling the funny and tragic stories of the human spirit as it struggles against the relentless circles of life and death.

From the images iv seen its got a pretty dark atmosphere, and theres a bit with Lenin as a paraplegic in a wheelchair. Iv always been really into Russian history, mainly because its so fucked up and wierd, so i definetly have to see this.
