From the Founder Welcome to The Flying Karamazov Brothers and welcome to the show! What you are about to see is…well, I don’t want to spoil it for you, but let me give you some perspective about the world you are about enter from someone who has been living in it since it was formed.

From the beginning when I founded this band of bros. with Howard Patterson (Ivan) in 1973, I have felt that what we were doing was a theatrical experiment. I had started by acting in Shakespearean plays, and it was through his example (theater guy, funny guy, serious guy, guy who does whatever it takes guy) that I formed the idea of the “Theatre of Everything” (without prior knowledge of Wagner’s Gesamtkunstwerk).

It has often been said that theater is the queen of all the arts as it encompasses architecture, music, dance, poetry, acting, fashion, painting and pandering. As a thespian (and I use the term loosely), I felt we should embrace this totality fully.

And then there was this juggling thing. At university, we had become obsessed with le jeu de mains (a French term for juggling from which you can draw your own conclusions). We practiced day and night, night and day.

As musicians, with each beat, beat, beat of the club-club, we came to view this art differently than it had been previously. We heard it as music. As a form of expression, it is by its very nature endless in variation and possibility. When we joined this visual music with theater, we suddenly discovered our voice.

We are also part of an ancient tradition going back to when the first humanoid who made a funny to a fellow cave man or woman as an evolutionary strategy, if you know what I mean. Add to that our associations with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, the beat poets and the Grateful Dead, and you get that tangential vision, a jab to the right, a dialogue in which nothing is sacred except the search for a truth that can’t be grasped, like a juggling club bouncing out of a hand.

Ultimately, this cardboard world we construct is based on the inevitability of gravity.

Each toss is a flirtation with failure, and each time we catch, we deny failure, if only for a little while. Art begins with a choice, an impulse that either falls or flies.

But it is the possibility of screwing up that is the dark matter of creativity and generates the tension that keeps us at the edge of our seats. Juggling is dropping. So, welcome to The Flying Karamazov Brothers. Remember our PLAY is our play, and everything you’re about to see is actually happening.

Who’s Who in the Cast ZOSSIMA KARAMAZOV (Colloquially known as Stephen O’Bent, Music Director, Original Music) may be a lover but he ain’t no dancer. Stephen owes his very existence to the Flying Karamazov Brothers, whose antics provided the entertainment for his parents’ first date in 1982. Years later, he saw the Ks at the impressionable age of 13 and immediately set about trying to emulate his new heroes in every way. The facial hair results were disappointing, but the obsessive, social-life-crippling juggling seems to have paid off, landing him his dream job in 2008. After graduating from Occidental College (Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, Et Cetera Ad Nauseam), Stephen moved to New York City, where he enjoys any combination of rooftops, Scrabble, spontaneous music-making, exhaustively rehearsed music-making, Thai food, good beer, unnecessarily long lists, Oxford commas, and interesting people. He thanks his family for their infinite support. And in the end, the love you take is equal the love you make.

NIKITA KARAMAZOV (aka Andy Sapora) is happy to be back for another go-round as Nikita. His other job is to make a ruckus on the pediatric floors of NYC area hospitals through Big Apple Circus Clown Care. Andy teaches clown, improv, theater, juggling and acrobatics to children and adults of all levels, privately and through Circus Warehouse, Big Apple Circus and Bindlestiff Cirkus. Andy’s band, The Maestrosities, really is “The Coolest Band Ever.” He loves and thanks his wife, Elena. www.andysapora.com SUSAN HILFERTY (Costume Design) has designed over 300 productions from Broadway to the Bay Area and internationally, including Japan, London, Australia, Germany and South Africa. Recent designs include “Wicked” (2004 Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk awards and Olivier nomination), “Spring Awakening” (Tony nomination), August Wilson’s “Radio Golf” and “Jitney,” “Lestat” (Tony nomination), “Assassins,” “Into the Woods” (Tony and Drama Desk nominations; Hewes Award), “Manon” at L.A. Opera and Berlin Staatsoper, Richard Nelson’s “Conversations in Tusculum,” Frank Wildhorn’s “Wonderland.” She works with such well-known directors as Joe Mantello, James Lapine, Michael Mayer, Walter Bobbie, Robert Falls, Tony Kushner, Robert Woodruff, JoAnne Akalaitis, the late Garland Wright, James MacDonald, Bart Sher, Mark Lamos, Frank Galati, Des McAnuff, Christopher Ashley, Emily Mann, David Jones, Marion McClinton, Rebecca Taichman, Laurie Anderson, Doug Wright, Carole Rothman, Garry Hynes, Richard Nelson and Athol Fugard (the South African writer with whom she works as set and costume designer and often as co-director since 1980). Hilferty also designs for opera, film and dance, and chairs the Department of Design for 8 OVERTURE.ORG - The Flying Karamazov Brothers

Who’s Who in the Cast Stage and Film at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Hilferty’s many awards include a 2000 Obie for Sustained Excellence in Design.

DAVID HUTSON (Lighting Design) has travelled the globe as a lighting designer and sometimes production manager since 1990. He has contributed designs to “The Flying Karamazov Brothers’ Sharps Flats and Accidentals,” as well as “Life: A Guide for the Perplexed.” His work has also been seen with Maurice Sendak’s Night Kitchen Theater, Circus Flora, MOMIX, The Parsons Dance Company, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Jacob’s Pillow: Men Dancers, Seattle’s Moisture Festival and the annual Hispanic Heritage Awards: Live from the Kennedy Center, NBC broadcasts.

DOUG ELKINS (Choreographer) Doug began his career as a B-Boy, touring the world with break dance groups New York Dance Express and Magnificent Force, among others. In 1988, he founded the Doug Elkins Dance Company, which performed nationally and internationally for 15 years before disbanding in 2003. Doug is a recipient of significant choreographic commissions and awards from NEA, National Performance Network, Jerome Foundation, Choo-San Goh & H. Robert Magee Foundation, Dance Magazine Foundation, Metropolitan Life/ADF, Hartford Foundation, Brandeis University Award in Dance, New York Dance and Performance Award, among others. In 2006, he was honored in New York City by the Martha Hill Award for Career Achievement, and in September 2008, he received a second Bessie Award for Fräulein Maria, Doug has taught and choreographed work for Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company, The Flying Karamazov Brothers, MaggioDanza and Pennsylvania Ballet. He also worked at Theatre for a New Audience.

A graduate of SUNY/Purchase, he received his M.F.A. from Hollins University/ ADF in 2007. He currently teaches at The Beacon School on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

REBECCA VAN DE VANTER (Stage Manager) Rebecca blames her father for all of this. At his behest and while a young impressionable student of technical theater at the impressing institution of UC Santa Cruz, her juggling family (though not, please, during the show) attended a Karamazov show. Through a series of bad puns and witty banter, she found herself assisting backstage the next day.

Since then she has met exotic people and gone to wonderful places while enjoying venues all over the country. When not on the road traveling and wrangling jugglers with FKB, she is on the road traveling and wrangling lights with Riverview Systems Group. She enjoys robot T-shirts, carnitas burritos and long walks on the beach. Seriously, bring a tent.
