a new, unique experience. The performance element from “Theatron
dis Psychis” communicates a structure from which to explore
ones own psyche. Challenging the mind by leaving a lot unsaid
and prompting the audience to delve into their own imagination.
The
non-linear structure of the scripts and scenarios, not a story
per se, prompt “triggers” in the mind of the audience,
enabling them to draw knowledge, emotions and reactions from past

that cause people to question how they see the world. What has

controversial subject matter, but above all, it is entertaining
and can be comedic.
A
continuous ambient atmosphere of surround sound music, surround
effects and choreography enhance the poignant personas created
by a group of multi-disciplined professional artistes. Visual
impact comes in the form of fantastic and distinctive costumes
made from unconventional materials in extreme designs. Dramatic

and even taste serve as reminders of past encounters and at times
become part of this theatre experience.

to draw from within and to be an active emotional participant
– “I see a view of the soul”
“Great
art can communicate before it is understood”
