Extreme [The New Norm]
A colourful collage of scenes and characters responding to the lived experience of the pandemic.
A colourful collage of scenes and characters responding to the lived experience of the pandemic. Through devised physical theatre, music and song, the company explores how patterns of behaviour and crisis become mirrors for society.
In 2022/23 the company created and performed 29 shows of Extreme [The New Norm], a devised production inspired by the experience that paused creative work for nearly three years. In 2023 the production toured to Edinburgh Fringe and Camden Fringe, expanding the company’s international audience for the first time at two major UK festivals.
