[edit] Mission

According to Gecko's press pack, the company "was formed in 2001, fuelled by a shared response to theatre that for years had left us feeling dulled and uninspired. Unlike so much of the theatre we were used to experiencing, we wanted our work to serve as a launch pad for our audiences’ imaginations, to awaken their senses and to fill them with energy and vitality."[2]
