A DEEPER DIVE
This gripping experience is part monologue, part spectacle. It's also a sound journey and contemporary movement piece. Think Ivo Van Hove or ANIMA by Paul Thomas Anderson/Thom Yorke.
The play's source material is a Dostoyevsky short story but former Broadway/TV actor turned David Lynch MFA in Cinematic Arts graduate Joshua James Salt, has recently adapted the piece with a compelling “why now factor” manifesting fresh appeal for a modern audience.
THE MOOD TO DREAM
The late Peter Brook introduced us to the ‘holy theatre’ or the theatre of the ‘Invisible-made-visible’. The holy theatre is not about religion, but experience. It is here one ‘sees’ invisible things such as human consciousness and non-ordinary states of being - everything that typically escapes awareness…
Although Salt’s adaptation of Ridiculous has yet to be staged, design elements and the script itself are already teeming with unique sensory dimensionality.
Hypnotic language, dazzling scenic design, visceral choreography, and unique special effects all aim to make this piece a truly unforgettable night in the theatre.
“More than ever, we crave an experience beyond the humdrum. Some look for it in jazz, classical music, in substances… but only in the theatre can we liberate ourselves from the recognizable forms in which we live our daily lives. We then enter a holy place in which a greater reality can be found."
-Peter Brook
