An adaptation to Nicolai Gogol

Physical storytelling for five actors and nine mannequins.

Akaky Akakievich Bashmachin is a pour low ranking official who’s scorned and laughed at due to his professional devotion. His old and tattered overcoat can’t keep him warm from the St. Petersburg’s frost, and he must purchase a new one.

Akaky’s world changes completely in this twisted surreal story about coats and people, in a reality where the exterior outshines the interior and fate is harsh and cold as the winter.
