...the itsy bitsy spider...

March 13th's performance has been CANCELLED due to weather and breaking windows.

Created specifically for Studio Six, the itsy bitsy spider revolves around a controversial chapter of Fyodor Dostoevskys novel, The Possessed or Demons, which was censored for decades in Russia. What the main character reveals in the censored chapter serves as the catalyst of the plot, and is the springboard for this imaginative adaptation. With original choreography and music, the itsy bitsy spider explores the story of a man torn apart by his mysterious past, and his desperate attempt at redemption. Director Alexandre Marine brings a new perspective to Dostoevskys novel and sheds light on an often untold and unexamined side to the story.

Director Alexandre Marine is a recipient of the Distinguished Artist of Russia award, and he has been one of the principal directors of The Moscow Art Theater. Marine is a founding member of the Tabakerka Theater in Moscow, and is also founding artistic director of his Montreal theater company, Thtre Deuxime Ralit. As a theater director he has staged over 50 shows in Moscow, Montreal, Boston, New York and Tokyo, and his shows at the Moscow Art and Tabakerka have toured extensively through Europe and the United States.
