From Western Europe to Moscow and Back!


Muh-num-uh-NUNS! doo-doo-dee-DOO-DOO!
John Kilby (inset) laughs at Father Seamus & His Erotic Nunnery as they parade on the grounds of La Chaussée in 2006 atop the Velocycle.

John Kilby and Mir Caravan 2010 are about to embark on a tour into Russia!
Follow the action on their live-blogging site: http://www.mircaravan2010.eu/ (Under Construction)

It says: Été 2010... onze compagnies européennes de théâtre s’unissent pour une tournée événement qui les mènera de Namur à Moscou en passant par Brno, Francfort-sur-Main.... et Villeneuve-lès-Avignon !

Un village itinérant. Des spectacles et des rencontres aux accents multiples... Les artistes de MIR Caravan 2010 promènent sur les routes d’Europe l’âme et l’humeur d’une expérience artistique inédite. Un défi ambulant qui mêlera les publics, les regards, les envies, les rêves... Et si le théâtre et la création indépendante étaient LE ciment du puzzle européen ?


Translated via Babel Fish as: Summer 2010… eleven European companies of theatre are linked for a round event which will carry out them of Namur in Moscow while passing by Brno, Frankfurt-on-Hand…. and Villeneuve-the-Avignon!

An itinerant village. Spectacles and meetings with the multiple accents… The artists of MIR Caravan 2010 walk on the roads of Europe the heart and the mood of a new artistic experiment. A travelling challenge which will mix the public ones, the glances, the desires, dreams… And if the theatre and independent creation were cement of the European puzzle?



Hmmm -- I might request some live updates in English!
