Experience Theater Different in the City Different
CURRENT PROJECTS
THE ART OF SILENCE
SEPTEMBER 9th: Artistic Director John Flax and ensemble members Danielle Reddick and Koppany Pusztai will perform The Art of Silence.
Archeologists tell us storytelling is our oldest art form. They have hypothesized that cave dwellings were manipulated by firelight to enhance the stories, making the drawings move, creating surprise and emotion. These days in this country, we’ve come to define theatre by the written script but there is much more to it … movement, imagery, sculpture, architecture, music, all of the art forms. Maybe that’s what makes the making of great theater so challenging.
Theater Grottesco has embraced this challenge since it was founded in Paris in 1983. The Art of Silence offers a behind the scenes look into their imaginative, poetic theater.
Action at a Distance
The bold theatrical experiment between Fay|Glassman Performance and Theater Grottesco, where four actors perform six different plays simultaneously on a small 10x10 foot grid, continues!
Stay tuned for a week of performances in Chicago, and a production video available for FREE streaming....soon!
