THÉÂTRE CLOWNESQUE
KTO TAM?
The show is imagined, created and played by Igor Mamlenkov, directed by Kostya Novitskiy, clownerie creation by Xavier Bouvier
ABOUT
It's a poetic, lyric and tragicomic solo theatre piece without any spoken text (some gibberish/grammelot) that reflects on solitude and the feel of being abandoned, on what our "inner" home dwells. Welcome to the wondeland of play, dramatic clowning, music and interaction, where folklore and solitude are combined to create a poetic journey into your inner self. A subtle dance between the intimate space of a house and the public presence of a clumsy gnome. Come and dream of a better world together!

J'MAG INTERVIEW #75 (2025)
Je m'appelle Igor Mamlenkov. Je suis d’origine russe avec passeport espagnol et j'habite en Suisse et je finis mon master en théâtre physique au Accademia Dimitri (CH). J’ai fondé ma compagnie de théâtre DOMOVOI en Suisse italienne en 2018, et cette année nous avons déménagé à Genève avec ma petite amie.
Vous pourriez présenter KTO TAM ?
Alors, KTO TAM? (Qui est-là ?) prend ses origines d’un dessin animé soviétique dans lequel le petit corbeau noir a appris seulement à dire "KTO TAM?" frapper à la porte, soi-disant pour chasser de la maison les indésirables. Mais le lendemain, un facteur frappe à la porte et il y a un oiseau qui dit : "KTO TAM ?”..." par QUENTIN BUSNEL

“Piacevolmente poetico ci è parso lo spettacolo di apertura “Chi è là “dove il clown russo Igor Mamlenkov interpreta lo spiritello Domovoi, che, entrato in una casa dove i suoi abitanti se ne sono andati, se ne impossessa dello spirito, ridonandoci il sapore di ognuno di loro. Ogni personaggio rivive in scena, attraverso modi sapientemente buffi, che solo la clownerie è capace di donarci, con un cane di Peluche, due lampadari e altri oggetti dimenticati che hanno in loro però il pregio del ricordo.” - MARIO BIANCHI
