About Ruxandra Cantir
Pickled Republic is a surreal theatrical cabaret by Ruxandra Cantir, performed at Anatomy Lecture Theatre during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set inside a jar, the show uses puppetry, masks and poetry to explore the lament of lives not lived, the chaotic search for meaning, and the connections between decaying vegetables and human existence. A MadeInScotlandShowcase.com production, it promises to leave audiences stirred up but none the wiser. Running 45 minutes, tickets start from £10 and the show is suitable for adults aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely strange hour in a jar — puppetry, masks, haze and poetry used to draw unexpected parallels between rotting vegetables and the human condition. For those who enjoy theatre that refuses to explain itself and leaves you thinking long after.
