The performance at the Baku theater, called "The animals and children took the streets", will be delivered in the framework of the "Theaters cooperation" project. The show won the Best Entertainment Performance award in 2010 and toured the most prestigious international festivals, this year coming to the Azerbaijani capital. This work is a synthesis of animation, theater and is partly a musical, which creates a fairy tale for children and adults. Most of the play's characters were created by animators. Credible facts are tightly woven together with a "horror story", black humor, cabaret songs, etc. Actors also enter into a dialogue with cartoon characters. The play received glowing reference from critics of the Scotsman and Time Out publications. As the Guardian's reviewer said, "a jaw droppingly clever and gloriously subversive parable...1927 conjures a world so complete it feels as if you've fallen down a rabbit hole." The English language performance will be provided with translation. Tickets are available at the box offices of the city.
