We are Jazzville Productions, an Irish theatre and production company, formed by husband and wife duo David Duffy and Ksenia Parkhatskaya. Since our formation we have produced award winning work for film, stage, music and street theatre.
In 2023 we were selected for the N.E.S.T 4 Nations Bursary program to create our latest production “The Most Dangerous Animal In The World”
“The Most Dangerous Animal In The World”
Dance, comedy, theater. Length – 35 min Suitable for all ages.
Join us as we follow the adventurous journey of a spirited sheep, exiled from her island community and thrust into the bustling city. Is it dangerous to be different? Can she find a new herd in this urban landscape? Prepare for a dynamic fusion of dance styles, from Charleston to Tango, blended seamlessly with comedy, theater, and song, all set against the lively backdrop of the city streets. Don’t just watch – be a part of the story in this unforgettable, interactive street theater experience!
