About the Artists:
MAD PARADOX
A unique blend of truth and artifice for a stimulating contradiction to the conventional performance experience. We create performances that are directly inspired by the writings of; Antonin Artaud, particularly his theories on Theatre of Cruelty. Interpreting these methodologies for the modern age, our company stimulates the senses by utilizing technical elements such as trance-inducing pulses, wild projections, bleak yet messy sets, olfactory provocations and intense soundscapes. We often incorporate recordings, interview-based oral history and ethno-dramatic techniques to transpose story to stage. We will exploit our own personal experiences to facilitate the deepening of a narrative that further humanizes the fictional characters we portray. We aim to provide, above all, a deeply sensorial experience for the audience, engaging both mind and body. Many people have labelled this type of show Immersive theatre; - while this is pretty accurate, we’re not so sure we would really limit what we do to just into this category. Our shows are certainly a strange blend. It’s a complex weaving in and out of reality. When watching, it’s sometimes hard to tell where life ends and theatre begins. The result is an unique performative MAD PARADOX; - an absurd, yet intimate - and often uncomfortable - contradiction to conventional theatre practices. We are bold. We are risky. We are intense.
