The title of their latest piece may mean "the cackle at the end of the road" or, more ominous still, "death's laughter in the face of humanity". But the work of Sweden's Theatre Slava couldn't be more full of life.

One of Europe's great music and movement companies, Theatre Slava are renowned for their polyphonic singing, impetuous rhythms, visceral movement and exuberant ethos of "total theatre".

A few years ago they presented Kassandra Now!, drawing on the ancient Greek tragedy of Cassandra - a woman condemned to prophesy the truth but be ignored - to reflect the conflicts in the Balkans.

Billed as a dramatic concert, new work Doderskratt strays further from narrative, merging ritual with new performance styles to create a sensual whirlpool of song and dance.

Featuring billowing silk banners, whirling firebrands and acrobatic bodies in flight, it is a play about death, birth, elegy, euphoria, triumph and tragedy.

But it is also a showcase of world folk songs, from a traditional Swedish drinking song to an African gumboot dance, from Haitian rhythms to pre-war French melancholy.

With a double bass, saxophone, drums and exquisite choral singing, six robed musicians will guide you through what promises to be one of the most uniquely uplifting experiences the Fringe has to offer.

Starts at 7.30pm, Saturday mat at 2.30pm. Tickets cost £12/£10, call 01273 647100
