WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Click here to see a video of the Brothers in action!
This exuberant and hilarious off-Broadway event is full of charming, fast-paced virtuosity and fun as the four brothers, master practitioners of cheap theatrics, juggle 'til they drop. Their method combines skills of considerable breadth and depth in a work that is kaleidoscopic and passionate. The objects, the musical instruments (traditional and invented) and their own bodies are combined in a fresh and compelling performance.
The audience is invited to bring objects to the theater for Karamazov's Champ to juggle, making each show unique. Come watch The Flying Karamazovs as they prove with each performance that chaos and unexpected events in our lives are the best part of being human.

great show for my whole family
My whole family found something to love; the jokes hit high and low with great timing and had us giggling and hooting, ages 73 to six! when we werent laughing at the silliness we were wowed by the varied juggling, both musical and improvisational. Im coming back with something to beat the champ next time! bravo!

"Juggling is music," declares a performer in The Flying Karamazov Brothers' entertaining new show, 4Play, now at the Minetta Lane Theatre. And there is definitely a musical sensibility that runs throughout this lighthearted piece, which should appeal to both adults and children.
Unlike some of the troupe's previous shows, which have plundered the storylines of works such as Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, there isn't much of a plot. Rather, the four male performers -- Paul Magid (who also directed), Mark Ettinger, Roderick Kimball, and Stephen Bent -- combine their juggling prowess with explorations of various forms of music (and sometimes dance). There's a tribute to Japanese Taiko dr[...]
