Body Count - is a solo performance that excavates the fragile, often invisible experience of male vulnerability: a confrontation with the body as a site of contradiction, where tenderness and violence, silence and scream, are held in the same breath.

BODY COUNT

WalkYourChair - created with performers from Australia, Colombia, Estonia, and Latvia — transforms spaces of public transit into live encounters through presence, movement, and participation, using the chair as a deceptively simple but powerful intervention.

Pall On Elu - Taking loose inspiration from the Vedantic concept of existence, for which the border between the real and the illusionary playfully bounces, eluding our perception, BALL IS LIFE delves into the apparent impossibility of establishing a certain identity in a rapidly changing environment without taking existence by the balls.

INFERNO is a devised work by Gintarė Šmigelskytė (Lithuania) and Edward Skaines (Australia), deconstructing the final encounter of Medea and Jason through questions of identity, narcissism, and gender — drawing on translations from Jean Anouilh, Edward Philip Coleridge, and Euripides.

Fusing physical theatre, absurdism, surrealism, Brechtian device, and multimedia, the work dismantles the mythological surface to expose what lies beneath: the architecture of coercive control, the distortion of self under narcissistic love, and the way power consolidates itself inside intimate relationships. NFERNO refuses the myth as tragedy and instead asks what we have always misread — who is the victim, and who wrote the story.
