An odyssey through 20th century European chansons

From the Russian cabaret artist Alexander Vertinsky to Edith Piaf via the music of the Comedian Harmonists in the early 1930’s, Daniel Donskoy will perform German, Yiddish, French and Russian chansons, accompanied by Inga Davis-Rutter and her trio. Each evening will also include guest performances by London’s most acclaimed West End performers.

A Song Goes Round the World is transferring from St. James Studio after its premiere in May 2016, that was received with great critical acclaim.

***** ‘Truly Magical’ – Views from the Gods

**** ‘An outstanding mastery’ – Jonathan Baz

Donskoy’s background is as eclectic as the programme of this evening. He was born in Russia and raised in 1990’s Berlin, before coming to London via several years in Tel Aviv. A Song Goes Round the World is Donskoy’s first solo show; further acting credits include BBC4’s Detectorists, the ITV1 Drama Victoria as well as playing Jim O’Connor in Tennessee Williams’ Glass Menagerie at Nottingham Playhouse.

“In times of uncertainty relating to the European Union, this is a chance to bring Europe together through music – even if just for one evening”, says Donskoy.

The evening will include songs from life in the poor Parisian faubourgs, Yiddish theatre tales of loss and joy, songs sung by Russian political prisoners of the Tsar, witty German cabaret and much more.

Collaborative Artists’ latest major production You Won’t Succeed On Broadway, If You Don’t Have Any Jews was nominated for Best Off-West End Production at the 2016 WhatsOnStage awards.

Black Sheep @ Jacksons Lane
Sep 29 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

After moving from Germany to London over ten years ago to live and work in a more diverse community, renowned sword swallower, circus artist and dazzling burlesque artist Livia Kojo Alour learned that life-long feelings of self-hatred and otherness are part internalised racism and part survival techniques. With a successful career under her stage name MisSa, but tiring of playing someone else full-time, Black Sheep has been long in the making, serving as a candid autobiographical work and a euphoric reclamation of Livia’s identity and ongoing fortitude.

Black Sheep is a story about a Black woman finding love and a testament of personal strength, developed through transcending the white gaze, overcoming institutional racism and leaning into radical vulnerability. Securing her place as a pivotal UK Queer Black voice while telling her story via a heady mix of physical theatre, spoken word, song and sword swallowing, Black Sheep is timely, unsettling and deeply personal.

Suitable for ages 14+
