Synetic’s inaugural season in Crystal City will kickoff at the end of September 2010 with a new, wordless epic – King Arthur. Drawing from a rich pool of centuries-old myths and legends and starring Ben Cunis (most recently seen as Antony in Antony and Cleopatra) in the title role, King Arthur will weave together mystery, magic, heroes, and romance in a new adaptation that will see the legend reborn in Synetic’s signature mixture of movement, music, combat and drama.
Opening in November, The Master and Margarita will reunite Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili as the title roles in an adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s masterpiece about the devil’s visit to Stalin's Moscow – a powerful tale about the juxtaposition of good and evil, sacrificing for love, and artistic struggles in a repressive society. A supernatural, exotic fusion of text, startling visuals, physicality, and humor, this metaphorical play will be re-imagined and redesigned by Synetic's award-winning artistic team. The Master and Margarita will be performed at the Lansburgh Theatre in a continued special alliance with The Shakespeare Theatre Company, the first of two shows to be staged at the Lansburgh by Synetic this upcoming season.
“Practically every scene with Margarita and the Master is a treasure, so sure are the Tsikurishvilis of their craft, so exquisitely chosen and calibrated are their movements. When they finally come together, you are greatly moved…” – The Washington Times
In its second production at the Lansburgh Theatre, Synetic will present the seventh play in its “Silent Shakespeare” series, an adaptation of one of the greatest tragedies of all time – King Lear. Helen Hayes Award-winning actor Irakli Kavsadze plays the title role of the aging king whose test of his daughters’ love undoes the fabric of his kingdom. The bloody conflict that ensues is interwoven with a tale of loyalty, love, hate, and redemption.
Closing the season at Crystal City in the summer of 2011 is Don Quixote, starring Dracula’s Dan Istrate, who will bring the wonder of Quixote’s dreaming mind to life. From his love of the heedless Dulcinea to his journey across the Spanish countryside, Quixote is simultaneously an inspiring and farcical character.
