“Alice” – live performance in Tallinn (2011)
Alice is a unique mixture of creative ingredients like contemporary choreography, jazz music, art video, animation, VJ set and shadow theatre. All spiced up with a little bit of
improvisation, simple magic and rolled into someth ing what we call a real-time live performance. Alice’s creators are: MTÜ Fat Snail, MTÜ HeliTelg, Max Golomidov, Olga Privis and Aleksandr Žedeljov. Our performance is inspired by Lewis Carol’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, still it is not strictly close to the original text.
Our Alice is contemporary girl, who follows the White Rabbit and finds herself on a journey to the unknown land of dreams, miracles and magic. Live performance will premiere in June 2011 in Russian Theatre of Estonia, Tallinn. Alice is a project that is not connected to a certain indoor stage conditions. Stay tuned for a series of surprise events in the most unexpected spots of Tallinn.
ALICE is the collaborative project of a various artists.

Olga Privis is the main choreographer of Russian Theatre. She is a bright personality with lots of creative energy. On our project she got one of the most responsible parts – to embody a controversial image of the contemporary world’s Alice with artistic methods of modern dance.
Aleksandr Žedeljov is one of the project authors, ideologists and producers. He is the one who composes the music, gathers ideas and organizes the working process. He is responsible for PR and media coverage. His main artistic goal is composing the original soundtrack which will be played live with his band Triophonix.
