Company

Theatre...

born from the body

 

We believe theatre originated as an embodying ritual; a happening whose purpose was the sharing of knowledge, moving beyond the descriptive to become a somatic and transcendental physical experience.

Theatre...

as a lived experience

 

Our practice is rooted in finding a visceral communicative channel: body-to-body. By offering an artistic experience that resonates with the spectator with such honesty and depth, we embrace the singular power of the stage: its ability to strike a chord where authentic experience unfolds

Theatre...

that translates into thought

In the 1960s, visionaries such as Asimov, Bradbury, or Philip K. Dick prophesied a future where machines would hold dominion over humanity. Now that we inhabit that very future, perhaps it is we who have surrendered to them; relinquishing our agency, sacrificing intuition for the sake of immediacy and comfort, and forgetting—within the virtuality of our devices—the qualities that define us as humans: empathy, compassion, love. In doing so, we have become the machines ourselves.
