‘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.

After more than 13 years of working together as Theatre Re, making 6 shows and touring to 16 countries across 3 continents, we are taking a moment to stop, question and re-evaluate our relationship to success and time: Why do we do what we do, why is it important and why should we keep doing it?

Ultimately, Moments is about attentiveness; attentiveness to magic in the making of new work; attentiveness to poetry in our everyday; attentiveness to moment by moment existence; attentiveness to life as we live it.

Efter att ha arbetat tillsammans i mer än 13 år skapar Theatre Re detta verk av själviakttagelse. I gränslandet mellan TED Talk, teaterföreställning och skapandeprocess, med ett slående bildspråk och egenkomponerad livemusik, reflekterar kompaniet över teaterkonstens existens: Varför vi gör vad vi gör – medan vi gör det.

We are one of the UK’s leading visual theatre companies. Our work combines original live music with striking visual theatre to create world class, deeply moving non-verbal productions about universal human challenges and the fragility of life. We engage with audiences locally, nationally and internationally to create, share and promote life-changing theatre that is both inventive and accessible through cross-arts and cross-sector collaboration.

We are an artist-led company based at The Point in Eastleigh with a strong 13-year track record: six mid-scale productions, extensive touring in the UK (84 venues in 50 cities) and internationally (16 countries across 3 continents) – including a Broadway transfer, international licensing of our repertoire and sold-out runs at the Hong Kong Arts Festival, the Cerventino Festival (Mexico), and London International Mime Festival.

Our training programme is in high demand across the world with long-term partners such as the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. Partnerships with community organisations throughout the creation process and while on tour are central to our work.
