The Office of Dead Letters

Watch six quirky-clowny creatures bring dead letters to life; letters that may have been lost at sea, burned by deviants, never sent, only dreamed about or ripped apart – all with one thing in common: they never reached their intended.
With a mix of surreal physical theatre and realistic revelations of humanity you are sure to revel in this journey throughout history witnessing untold stories, heartfelt messages and ridiculous complaints. A metaphor for the collective unconscious of society.

The Office of Dead Letters

American Standard

2005. Bush era, Anchorage, Alaska. 15-year-old Swedish exchange student Jolie arrives to play hockey with the local female team. Driven, but grappling with homesickness and culture shock, Jolie tries her best to study for her ” American Standard Culture” class, integrate the team, and decipher this particular version of America.

After practice the girls talk on chat rooms with one another: about their families, college scholarship, their unmotivated coach and the Arctic Winter Games, ” The Olympics of Alaska”. One day, in the middle of an important qualifying game, a boy from their community shows up with a rifle and shoots his stepmother twice.

The girls are prevented from playing and training after the city closes down the rink for security reasons. With the Arctic Winter Games coming and college season approaching, the Team decides to take the matter into their own hands.

La Folie

Somewhere between yesterday’s and tomorrow’s wars, Karim and Kader find themselves living in a slum outside a major metropolis. Promised stable employment, education, and housing, they came, along with thousands of other men, to help rebuild a city ravaged by war. Kader dreams of a better life for his two daughters and his pregnant wife, Karim, of a regular apartment “with a kitchen, bathroom, windows and linoleum on the floor” for his newly arrived wife, daughter and son. But dreams turn to nightmares as they find themselves stuck in the mud of a world the gods of administration and history do not fully recognize.

The development of the writing of this play received support from the Institut des Temps Modernes in Paris, France.

Leo! Leo!

As part of the Bring A Weasel And A Pint Of Your Own Blood Festival curated by Mac Wellman and Erin Courtney at JACK.
“The time is some confluence of the early twentieth century, with both communism and Futurism on the rise, and early twenty-first century, in post-AIDS and post-disco landscape. Three disco queens are lamenting a world in which their musical drug of choice is considered passé.” New York Theatre Review

All The Times I Did Not See Potsdam

Four strangers sit in the cafeteria of a German Palace filled with tourists, while outside a solar eclipse is approaching. They begin a conversation that will unravel what brought them to this particular place. Part installation, part theatre, All the times I did not see Potsdam is a non-linear piece in eight different languages exploring the missed opportunities in our lives and the emotional maps we build for ourselves.

Democra

(or a sacred doe replaces Iphigenia on the sacrificial altar)

Democra is inspired by the first hand interviews of humanitarian workers, legislators, and bureaucrats taking a new look at the ancient Greek myth of “Iphigenia”. The play interrogates modern idealism and women’s sacrifice, both personal and professional, in times of peace and crisis. At an anonymous intergovernmental agency, five unpaid interns navigate harassment, virtue signaling, and the day-to-day details of legislation-making. Meanwhile, at a modern-day refugee camp, the echoes of Iphigenia still reverberate. While the agency is concerned with preserving ancient culture, other sacred sites, and most importantly their image, Amrah, a 6-year-old girl, traces her latest lesson in the dirt: her name in Greek.

Directed by Kathleen Capdesuñer, DEMOCRA was part of the 2021-2022 Irons in the Fire residency offered by Fault Line Theatre

Democra

The flower that fell from the sky

Olga lives in a big city and has lost her sense of smell. Only a core memory could reignite it. With her siblings, she makes the journey back to her hometown, a fishing village that was decimated by an explosion long ago.
The Flower that Fell from the Sky is a loose adaptation of Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov. An insightful and heart-felt contemporary fable with magical realism, sensory experiences, and physical theatre created for audience members 12 years and above.
Through the siblings’ quest to ultimately find a sense of home, we ask the question: “How do we preserve our inner-child?” A metaphor for the changes the world is currently going through, the play is an invitation to spark an intergenerational dialogue.

“A powerful story of loss and hope The Flower that Fell from the Sky is an insightful and heart-felt contemporary fable” West Australian Theatre Base
