“A keen sense of whimsy underlies
their rigorous and purposeful staging.” - LA Times
“It could be a new form of mathematical equation: text minus context
equals twice the subtext.”
-
Backstage West (Critic’s Pick)
“A tightly choreographed and delightful theatre piece...a whimsical
dance about our regimented lives.”
-
LA Weekly (Pick of the Week)
The company directs
its research into Dostoevsky (NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND)
and Gogol (DIARY OF A MADMAN and THE NOSE) for a surreal
expression of the individual’s confrontation with society. The production
incorporates a sound score of eclectic music loops and psychologically-based
gesture and choreography to create a dance theatre made specifically with
actors.
DUMBSHOW was produced in association
with the Sacred
Fools Theater and premiered on their stage.
