Instructions for a Better Life OptimismInstructions for a Better Life
Synopsis:
This is all about us, everyone that is, thinking that something is true when it isn't. It's a true story. It's a look at what people believe without question and an attempt to unpick the oddity of what we think we think. Part thriller, part comedic romp through human psychology, Uncanny theatre stretch logic to breaking point in a show that's visually arresting and absurdly funny in all of its low-tech glory. the rules are simple, and with a little luck you'll be all right. then again, why should you believe us?

Synopsis:
Most people know when they've made a wrong decision. But what happens when someone is convinced theirs is the right one? "OPTIMISM" is a twisted tale of desire and self worth told through the eyes of an idiot. Blending dark clown with multimedia and unusual physicality, this production is both brutal and dreamlike, presenting a constant stream of unlikely chracters, peculiar situations and striking visuals. Uncanny theatre are a new company co-founded by Total theatre Award winner Matt Rogers (Chotto Ookii theatre Company) to create bizarre yet touchingly human stories with a darkly comic edge. In the face of constant rejection. "OPTIMISM" may not always be the best defence.
