Synopsis:
Memory is an active muse, as demanding as an Olympics gymnastics coach, in "Opus No. 7," a suitably unforgettable work from the Dmitry Krymov Lab and the Moscow Theater of Dramatic Arts. In this thrillingly inventive production, which runs at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn through Sunday, performers in search of lost time find themselves faced with a herculean array of obstacles and chimera. They are beckoned by (and sometimes obliged to wrestle with) bodiless phantom arms that slide into the sleeves of empty jackets. They are blasted by a gale-force, stage-blanketing storm of confetti, bearing the names and images of nearly forgotten ancestors. Most dauntingly, in the show's second half, they are forced to do the bidding of steely, capricious Mother Russia, a figure who looms large, very large, in the form of a 12-foot puppet with a bosom as big as the Urals. And that's not to mention the poor guy who has to function as a human chandelier. Or that little composer chap - What's his name? Oh yeah, Shostakovich - who is lanced, roasted, shot at and turned into a taxidermy specimen. - Ben Brantley, New York Times
