• Dracula Buy Tickets >
  September 24 - November 15, 2009 at Rosslyn Spectrum

  From vampiric wolves howling in the Transylvanian night to the erotic blood-lust of the demonic Count and his consorts, Bram Stoker's gothic dreamscape has stood the test of time in the imaginations of innumerable artists, and now Synetic Theater takes its place among them. Multiple Helen Hayes Award winners Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili lend their ferocious theatricality to a Dracula that is not to be missed. Synetic presents a new restaging of the acclaimed 2005 production-- a tale of horror and the undying strength of the human spirit.

• Antony and Cleopatra
  January 28 - February 28, 2010 at Lansburgh Theater

  With a text featuring some of the most sublime poetry in the English language, Synetic Theater now explores one of Shakespeare's last great tragedies with their haunting "art of silence"-- a tale of the powerful Egyptian queen asserting her claim on the warrior Antony, even as Imperial Rome asserts its claim on him. Using their thrilling blend of music, movement, and dance, Synetic Theater will lay bare the heart of this doomed and legendary affair-- a story of the love and loss that gave birth to an empire. Presented concurrently during the Shakespeare Theater Company's leadership repertory and performing in the Lansburgh Theatre, Antony and Cleopatra will star company member Ben Cunis and resident choreographer Irina Tsikurishvili in the title roles.

  April 9 - May 22, 2010 at Rosslyn Spectrum

  Guest director Derek Goldman presents a reimagining of Franz Kafka's brilliant and darkly comic classic tale of family, alienation - and a giant bug. With Irina TsikurishviliÕs masterful choreography, Synetic's expertly drilled ensemble will bring Kafka's prose to vivid life, reviving the story's humor and poignancy in a way that will both surprise and delight audiences and readers of Kafka alike.

• Othello
  May 27 - June 13, 2010 at The John F. Kennedy Center

  Once again infusing one of Shakespeare's most poignant tragedies with their "art of silence", Synetic Theater now explores this tale of love destroyed by jealousy. When the general Othello triumphantly returns home to the promise of peace and marriage, little can he know that his most trusted lieutenant is also one of the most fiendish and manipulative villains imaginable. Scandal is fueled, families and friendships destroyed, as Othello's world comes crashing down, until a "trifle light as air" Ð a handkerchief-- undoes them all.
