Animal Vegetable Mineral

Synopsis:
animal Vegetable Mineral is a theatrical performance about a man who turns 30 and decides he must leave his mother, father, brothers, sisters, dog, snake, spiritual advisor, best friend, lover, maid and god. . .for a little while. as a parting gift, he sings them a song. This offbeat, comic-surreal play employs found text, movement, music, singing and sound to create a no-holds-barred theatrical experience. the actors transform into various characters, jump space and time, go through spiritual cleansing, climb mountains and walk across deserts. . .all for the sake of one little man in pursuit of his dreams.

Cheek

Synopsis:
antigone's gonna take things into her own hands!!! aunty's gonna get even!!! Marguerite's gonna snap her fingers and keep strutting!!! CHeeK is a contemporary interpretation of antigone. In this rebirth, triplets are conceived - let's just say aunty and Marguerite are 'distant relatives' of antigone and the same blood runs through their veins. This bold re-make, which fuses popular culture, found and original text, takes a look at the original text written by Sophocles 2,500 years ago, and turns it inside out.

Nothing

Synopsis:
See the laundry in the machine. It goes round and round. See your reflection in the glass you are a great sad clown. Hello Mister. Hello Miss. Where are you off to now? May I join you on your way into the great abyss? I won't say a single word or get in your way I'll just be a companion. Grey. It will be a grand nothing day. Say yes. Say. Nothing is an intimate observation of love and death. Various characters, some obscure, some mundane, some elusive, in various situations under various circumstances connect, collide and inch forward, moment to moment, beat by beat. Someone lives. Someone dies. Someone laughs. Someone cries. Nothing else.

Queen Ping is about how power, identity, control and sexuality play out in the lives of four people whose paths connect and collide in present day reality and in the realm of dreams and fantasy. Queen Ping is set to be a deliciously dark, wickedly funny, totally irreverent
