Feks

Pamphlet written by Vl. Nedobrovo about FEKS - "Factory of the Eccentric Actor" (Fabrika Ekstsentricheskogo Aktera).

FEKS in particular advocated “an illogical performance style modelled on the physicality of circus stunts”, as well as on the popularity of American cinema of the period, such as Charlie Chaplin.
