Theatre Re - Moments (UK)

‘Theatre Re excels at transforming small, intimate stories into whirling, viscerally physical
extravagance.’ What’s On Stage
Part TED Talk, part Theatrical Performance with our trademark style combining striking
imagery and action with original live music, Moments sits at the intersection of training and
theatre making. It creates a space for us to reflect, understand and explain what we do as we
do it.

The Krumple- Déjà (NO/FR)

Through expressive movement, magical illusion, puppetry, and striking imagery, the Krumple seeks to create a living time-capsule of the current moment, everything that has led up to it, and project where humanity might be going. It questions our significance, or rather – our insignificance, faced with the passing of time.
