Mission

According to Analogue's website, the company which formed in 2005 "produces explosive theatre and visual performance, touring the UK and Internationally. Our award winning work is cinematic in scope, and as a generation in tune with the language of recorded media we explore what the conventions of film can offer the experience of raw, visceral live performance. We bring collaborators together, combining computer games designers with devisers, puppeteers with playwrights, sharing their expertise to create a fusion of disciplines. The artists that make up the company have worked and trained with the likes of Theatre-Rites, The Young Vic, Sony, Suspect Culture, Gecko, Punchdrunk and Told by an Idiot".^[4]
