The Flying Karamazovs tumble into Ike Hall
West Point - West Point’s Eisenhower Hall Theatre will present a truly unique performance featuring the Flying Karamazov Brothers at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 12. According to the Karamazov’s, “We call our new show LIFE, A Guide for the Perplexed, and we’re totally jazzed about playing West Point. Expect fun, excitement, juggling, dancing, the woiks,” said representatives of Karamazovs. “LIFE, A Guide for the Perplexed,” is the Flying Karamazov’s newest and perhaps most ambitious show ever; a spectacle of hilarity and silliness that is bound to tickle your eyes as well as your sides. The show is a series of parables designed to help one survive the modern world. Of course these are parables as seen through the prism of Karamazovian eyes - so don’t expect the unexpected, don’t even expect the expected, just don’t expect. “LIFE - A Guide for the Perplexed,” is a skill-filled romp through the stages of life. Music is played on traditional and non-traditional instruments, such as a high-tech sonar driven wireless instrument where movement makes the music or six octaves of drum pads arranged on a metal circle that could easily pass for a UFO. There are silly dances, world class juggling and most importantly... Lots of fun audience participation including “The Gamble” where Dmitri, as the Champ, juggles any three objects that the audience provides. If he loses he receives a pie in the face - if he wins, he gets a standing ovation. The Flying Karamazov Brothers have been “in the biz” since 1973 performing everywhere, from their early days on the streets of San Francisco (the actual streets, not the TV show) to more recent Broadway appearances. They have trod the stages of the most prestigious theatres in the English-speaking World, from Singapore to Scotland. They’ve toured through every state in the union and traveled silver screens, both large and small.
