Studio Six Cuts the Web on THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER at the Baltimore Theatre Project 4/11

Studio Six of the Moscow Art Theater will end its production of ...the itsy bitsy spider... an original adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Possessed", with internationally acclaimed director Alexandre Marine at the Baltimore Theatre Project April 11th.

Created specifically for Studio Six, ...the itsy bitsy spider... revolves around a controversial chapter of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, "The Possessed" or "Demons", which was censored for decades in Russia.

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 Dostoevsky's novel and sheds light on an often untold and unexamined side to the story.

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, Théâtre Deuxième Réalité.

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.

Studio Six is a non-profit theater company founded by the only American ensemble to complete the full conservatory training program of Russia's Moscow Art Theater School. Studio Six is dedicated to bringing the values of Russian theater culture to American audiences through performance, original translations and education.

Based in New York, Studio Six has continued to perform in small theaters around the city and in residence at The Baryshnikov Arts Center. They have premiered new English translations of Russian plays in New York, taught workshops and master classes in Universities around the country, and strive to bring more Russian directors to America to stage original work.
