The company 88 mètres/seconde is creating its first ever international show: from Montreuil to London, Mille Zhong and Alissia Pervozvanski are bringing multi-lingual performance, physical theatre, and communist jokes with a queer edge in Le Grand Soir.
Mille and Alissia have a lot in common: lesbianism, Dads who live in former Communist-turned-Capitalist-Dictatorship countries thousands of kilometres away, an obsession for colour-sorted apps on their phones. In this Sino-Russian version of Les Misérables meets Never Have I Ever, they invite you to a vibrant, biting and sincere celebration of daddy issues, queer friendships, Communist history… and multilingual forgiveness. Expect some physical theatre, singing rituals, Russian pickles, Chinese jokes, and dramatic Power Points, as their explore their relationships with each other, their Dads, and politics. Ready for the ride?
This production is made possible by the support the company receives from its community and its partners, in France and in the UK: Comme Vous Émoi, the Lambeth Fringe, and the Voilà Festival.
After two successful work in progress showcases at Theatre Deli as part of the Shift+Space programme in April 2025, Mille and Alissia invite you to a preview of Le Grand Soir at The Glitch, as part of the Lambeth Fringe!
