They meet to talk about the beauty of the Carnival, about the joy they had, and to contemplate the big questions: How far should they take the masks off? What happens next? What is the respectable number of Rossini cocktails?

The Remote Orgasm mainThe Remote Orgasm  performed by Jarkko Mikkola

I'm not talking anymore. The time for that has passed.
Then – what?
You know what.
You're not really saying what I think you're saying.
I know what you want. Of course you want it. I can see it clearly.
So what if you can?
Admit it.
Admit what? What do you think I want?
The climax.

 

 

Supe4rheroes main webSUPERHEROES  written & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

Superheroes – you just can’t get away from them. They’ve had a stranglehold on the film industry for almost twenty years and some people have even attempted to be real-life superheroes. The ‘hero’ of our story starts out with similar dreams – but before creating his superhero identity, maybe he should ask himself why our society is so obsessed with the superhero?

Cast:
Sidekick – Salomon Marttila
Superhero – Zachariah Chamberlaine

The Year of The Fool FinnBritThe Year of the Fool is a gut-wrenching story that will shock and surprise you, and make you question your own place in society. An average modern-day family is caught in a reality where a totalitarian regime suddenly rises to power, forcing them to drastically change the way they interact with their immediate environment and their family and friends. Or are there any friends left in this world at all?

Don't miss this exploration of what "could be" in a world where most people are obsessed with work, and leave more important matters such as freedom and dignity in the hands of those who would seek to oppress and control. The story creeps up on you and attacks you unexpectedly from behind, it is a sudden reversal of luck, a sudden cancellation of everything we hold dear. It will move you in ways you cannot yet imagine.

driving towards the rain web imageDriving towards the rain is a physical encounter that breathes through Adrian Goldman’s poetry over the last 22 years. The organic piece is built from the subconscious meanings and vulnerability of life, which continues to evolve in time. With time. The audience is invited to dive deep into the very moment - and to embody and embrace how it feels to meet someone (yourself?) you haven’t seen for a long, long time.

"With this world, this lawn, this us, this very breath
Frailed as a quillet of philosophy
Improbable as a dream
As the breath you might have taken –"
(Adrian Goldman)
