Noordung Cosmocinetical Cabinet, the first theatre company to perform in zero gravity, will open on May 3rd in The Helix Theatre with their performance of Dragan Živadinov’s Supremat.

The Noordung Cosmocinetical Cabinet (previous names: Red Pilot and Scipion Nasice Sisters Theatre) is, as the name itself suggests, a drama group that adopts the general provisions of the ideology of NSK (Neue Slowenische Kunst) and presents them to the spectators in visual form. Their performances are strongly based on popular religious rituals, but without the spiritual context.

Supremat is a new event in the series of the "farewell rituals" performed by the actor Dragan Živadinov over the recent years. This time, his (sub)title references are those of the Neue Slowenische Kunst and the NSK. The title itself naturally alludes to Malevich's suprematism, the original inspiration of Dragan's theatrical work, and, to a slight extent - in connection with several props in the performance - to a "super automaton", and all kinds of "purification" enabled by the notion.

As part of the large-scale NSK events taking place in Dublin during European Union Enlargement, the Noordung Cosmocinetical Cabinet will perform “SUPREMAT” at The Helix Theatre from May 3rd – May 5th 2004
