I toured for two years with this company and was amazed

by it's capacity to pull a crowd and hold them

without resorting to busking techniques.
This work with its street and circus origins will always be

the ensemble and the public. No building, no reputation, no hype, just people gathering and enjoying a story that was an event.

Every trick hand held, both magical and ridiculous.

SPECIAL PRODUCTIONS

In 1995 I directed and devised Die Heimkehrer for producer Helmut Bürgel of the Cultural Abteilung, Lörrach, as part of a Nachkrieg event. I assembled an international group of professional actors and musicians together with twenty or so local amateur performers. The performances took place in the converted factory space the MMZ Halle in Lörrach and later transferred to the Kaserne in Basel.

In 2003 I directed a version of Titus Andronicus for the Porto Scuola Superior, in Portugal. This involved a cast of over twenty, and a technical team to match. We performed throughout an entire disused factory
