Die Diktatur der Kunst! – Kein Diktator kennt ihre Geheimnisse. Aber Anregungen gibt es hier: Feuer und Wasser, literweise Schaumbad, eine riesige pentagrammartige Holzkonstruktion und pulsierende Musiksamples lassen eine wunderbare neue Welt entstehen. Warum harte Nüsse knacken? Es reicht, ihren Widerstand zu brechen. Brennende Stühle statt flammender Reden, Rückzug vor Überforderung statt blutiger Tribunale, Heilschlamm statt Heilsversprechen. Größenwahn, exaltierte Bewegungen und der Versuch, die neuen Götter der virtuellen Welt mit purer, ungeschützter Sinnlichkeit zu besänftigen.

AKHE was founded by three young members of the cult Boris Ponizovski theater "Yes — No" in 1989. Immediately they announced themselves as an independent art group (in terms of styles and forms) and started working in the fields of performance, cinema and fine art. From 1996 AKHE developed into a theater collective, with a base of six members, and as cult icons on the Moscow and St Petersburg independent art scene, the group is sought after at progressive festivals and across mainland Europe and the World. AKHE creates a unique dream theater of chaos and symbols. Filled with countless absurd and inspired events, its shows and work with physical laws to create psychological play combined with fantastic images and endlessly fascinating stage pictures. From the summer 2022, according to the political situation in Russia and disagreeing with the war in Ukraine, the AKHE theater emigrated from Russia and began to be based in France, continuing its theatrical activities.
