BENT

“It's O.K.  I won't drop you.  I'll hold you.  If I stand at attention I can hold you. They'll let me hold you. I never held you before. You're safe.”

“We are hidden behind masks that cover up our deepest insecurities, fears and emotions.”

Fear.  Phobias.  Anxiety.

It intrigues us.  We hide it and try not to discuss it past childhood. 

Each day we are taught to block out or cover up our feelings, repressing that part of our very selves.

PHOBIAS is a movement theatre performance exploring how fear manifests itself in the body.

Do we Retreat? Collapse? Hide? Expand? Excite? Freeze?

 
Empty Spaces Theatre Company was proud to present Week 28 of the national Suzan-Lori Parks project 365 Days/365 Plays during the week of May 21 - 27th, 2007 at the Orlando International Fringe Festival.

MERDRE! The Empty Spaces Theatre Co presents its newly translated/newly adapted version of Jarry's insanely chaotic and historically groundbreaking UBU ROI.

Premiering in 1896 to riots and huge public outcry in Paris, UBU has entertained and amusingly dismayed audiences for the last century and is credited as the progenitor of the great theatre -isms that came after, Symbolism, Absurdism - and if there was such a word - Ridiculous-ism!

An outright laugh riot which explores power, politics, greed, envy and manipulation! Ubu Roi

Stripped

"Strip,..To Lay Bare..To fall away,..

To Peel..To remove the surface from.To Strip away."

STRIPPED

A New Docudrama exploring the world of Exotic Dancers in Central Florida

Oedipus the King

Oedipus the King has proven the test of time, remaining vital, visceral, and compelling over 2,000 years after its premier.

Laying the foundation for this new and exciting production is an energetic and freely adapted version of the original written by Sophocles (496 BC - 406/5 BC) This tribal/ritual version has been adapted to the stage...
