Review: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute

You’ve never seen Ibsen quite like this in ITI alumnus Sankar Venkateswaran’s stripped down, physical-focused interpretation. When We Dead Awaken is often considered one of Henrik Ibsen’s most unusual plays. Set in a spa town amidst snowy mountains and mysterious women, Ibsen’s final play was also his most oneiric, along with being his darkest, in dealing with themes of unhappy marriages, artistic death and actual mortality. … Continue reading Review: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute

Review: SUB II – The Art of Exploitation by Underground Theatre

A chance to hear from the misunderstood ranks of society and learn a little more about subcultures.  We’re going to start this review with a disclaimer: we have just about zero experience interacting with any of the subcultures mentioned in SUB II. A punk, metalhead or skinhead is about the furthest thing from our usual social circles, and it’s completely refreshing to see these subcultures take the … Continue reading Review: SUB II – The Art of Exploitation by Underground Theatre

In the first show of 2018 from the Intercultural Theatre Institute’s (ITI) latest graduating batch, the students will be presenting Ibsen’s final written … Continue reading Preview: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute
