Dinomania 'Wildly inventive theatre company Kandinsky return with a
head-spinningly smart show about Victorian fossil hunters...No-one
else makes theatre quite like this.' Time Out Dinomania was
originally commissioned by New Diorama Theatre, running from 19
February to 23 March 2019. 165 million years ago, an iguanodon is
killed in the heart of a rainforest. Time passes, the rainforest
becomes the South Downs, and every part of the iguanodon degrades
and disappears - except one tooth. 197 years ago, in safe, affluent
1820s Sussex, a country doctor finds the tooth. But where does it
fit in the story of an earth created by God just 6,000 years ago?
Evening Standard 'Consistently smart and inventive.' The Stage
'Brilliant comic timing... I have rarely seen such an electric
cast' A Younger Theatre 'This is such intelligent work from a
seriously talented company' - Lyn Gardner for Stagedoor 'Sharply
funny and exciting throughout' - The TLS 'For Kandinsky, this is
yet another nuanced, reflective, and highly creative approach to
theatre-making. Original and perceptive, this is storytelling at
its best.' - Exeunt Trap Street 'Trap Street is an 80-minute show
that melds an astonishing complexity of themes, a mastery of form
and a deep, deep humanity ... another triumph for Kandinsky' Time
Out This show premiered at New Diorama Theatre, running from 6 to
31 March 2018. It also ran at the Schaubuhne, Berlin from 5 to 7
April 2019 as part of the Festival of International New Drama
(FIND) where the New York Times described it as: 'not only the
highlight of the festival but one of the most ingenious pieces of
new theater I have seen recently... The three-person cast deftly
shifts between time periods in a mesmerizing single act that
combines minimal stagecraft, improvised music and finely chiseled
performances to create an anguished cry of moral outrage about
neoliberal economic policies, gentrification and the erosion of the
social security system.' It's 1961 and the concrete's just been
poured for a brand new housing estate. It's beautiful, not because
of the clean lines, indoor toilets and wide windows, but because
the idea behind it is beautiful. This is the future, and it's for
everyone. It's 2018 and the last tower of the estate is about to
come down. The dream that saw it built has long since died and now
the estate has to follow suit to make way for new buildings, based
on new ideas. This is the future, whether you like it or not.
'Timely critique about the housing crisis is both angry and
humane.' Evening Standard 'Compelling and intelligent' The Stage
'ferociously intelligent, poignant ... Trap Street effectively maps
the process of British dreaming, and how that process is
permanently written into the landscape itself.' Exeunt Kandinsky
brings the company's trademark theatrical inventiveness to city
life, exploring a community trying to find its way in a landscape
shaped by power. TRAP STREET charts 50 years of changing attitudes
to ownership and space in London, to ask what home means in 2018.
