'Dybbuk'
Solo performer Irina Andreeva was a supernatural sight in Teatr Novogo Fronta's "Dybbuk" at the Atlas Performing Arts Center Saturday night. With her powerful thighs and striking bald head, Andreeva was explosive and slightly otherworldly as a troubled, mischievous spirit taking gleeful possession of another body.
Founded in Russia and now based in Prague, TNF's movement-oriented, non-verbal methods wouldn't have surprised audiences who have followed the local Synetic Theater (themselves Georgian expats). This kinetic, nonverbal "Dybbuk" layered the Yiddish folk tale in high seriousness, low light and an overpowering soundscape -- a useful framework for a performance that exploited elements of gymnastics, modern dance and silent film.
Barely dressed in boy shorts, a thin tank top and sneakers, Andreeva was an athletic centerpiece. She was introduced as a spectral head gradually materializing out of the darkness, but soon enough she was slithering up a chair, legs lifted behind her like a floating tail. (This seemed to be the possession scene -- the dreamy storytelling often willfully eluded literal interpretation.) As the spirit took over the body, Andreeva erupted, donning a red wig and pulsing about the stage.
Her technique wasn't jaw-dropping, but her dramatic instinct was sure, even within the abstraction. And for a 50-minute show, Andreeva and director Ales Janak (TNF's co-founders) certainly got in their share of intriguing images. Fish fell from the sky, Andreeva surprisingly rose from a pile of smoldering leaves shortly after exiting stage left, and a shrunken head was unexpectedly revealed on empty robes, looking like the parasitic Voldemort in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." And then this respectable, icy, anticlimactic "Dybbuk" was gone, its flitting pictures evaporating like mist in the sun.
