From Madrid to Moscow’s Kremlin State Palace Theatre, more than 1.2 million guests have been whisked to another world by Zarkana.
A diverse cast of more than 75 international talented artists will transport you into a fantastical and suspenseful world where physical virtuosity rubs shoulders with the bizarre.
Placed in twisted fantasy universe, it is a story of a magician in an abandoned theatre who has lost all his love and magic. When he cries and begs the gods for her return, he is plunged into a world inhabited by surreal creatures. In the end, chaos and craziness ultimately gives way to lighthearted festivity and love. Meaning “bizarre” and “arcana,” it’s no wonder Zarkana refers to the strange aura and atmosphere of the place and its inhabitants.
