Complicite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British experimental theatre company Complicite was founded in 1983 by Simon McBurney, Annabel Arden, and Marcello Magni. Its original name, Théâtre de Complicité, is French for Theatre of Complicity. The company's work—usually created jointly by the performers and directors—combines realistic and stylized acting with narrative text, dance, music, and visual art; major influences include Jacques Lecoq and Vsevolod Meyerhold. They won the Perrier Comedy Award in 1985 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The company's lineup changes frequently, though McBurney continues to be the company's Artistic Director. Complicite is currently more active as an international touring company than within the UK.
Their most recent UK performance was "A Disappearing Number" at the Barbican Theatre, a play about the mathematician Ramanujan which focuses on our "relentless compulsion to understand".[1]
