Dance Company come together, it’s almost certain that something incredibly out of this world will be born from the collaboration. And when you add a heavy dose of surrealism, you’d probably get something along the lines of Cut Kafka. … Continue reading Huayi 2018: Cut Kafka! (咔嚓卡夫卡!) by Nine Years Theatre and T.H.E.

Throughout its runtime, This Beautiful Fantastic appears to continually try to outdo itself with its weirdness, beginning … Continue reading Review: This Beautiful Fantastic dir. Simon Aboud
