An independent theatre ensemble that connects old traditions with vibrant contemporary theatre. In approaching Baroque inspiration, it embraces artistic freedom, blending the original with the new, the elevated with the down-to-earth, and combining drama, musical theatre, puppetry, and dance. Its productions bring together modern and historical art forms, the comic with the tragic, the sublime with the mundane.
For more than twenty years, the ensemble has sought to present audiences with theatre that is modern, comedic, visually striking, and richly musical. When it speaks of connecting modern art with the old, it is referring to Baroque art. Don’t worry – they are not interested in riding a a dead horse or staging historical reconstructions in wigs and period costumes. Instead, they draw inspiration from the Baroque, searching for what still resonates today. Believe it or not, the Baroque has a great deal in common with the present. Don’t believe it?
