ARTISTIC POLICY 1927 specialises in combining storytelling, live performance, and music with animation and film to create original theatre. 1927 has mastered a delicate marriage of live music, animation, film, song, and technology as a means of exploring innovative ways of telling stories. 1927 endeavours to reinvent old idioms: silent film, music hall song, fairy tales, and cabaret to tell tales about contemporary issues for a modern audience.
