Oxygen is an explosive late night mix of words, music and dance: a raw, visceral take on the Ten Commandments for a dispossessed generation by one of Russia’s leading playwrights and film makers Ivan Vyrypaev. In this extraordinary collaboration Oxygen is presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company and features RSC actors Dharmesh Patel and Sophie Russell performing with the 2008 World B-Boy champions - the St Petersburg group Top 9 - and DJ Hobot, one of Russia’s leading club DJs. Be prepared for a searing and violent text mixed with breathtaking world-class breakdancing and music. Written by Ivan Vyrypaev, translated by Sasha Dugdale, directed by Deborah Shaw. UK/ Russia.
