REVIEW EXTRACTS
The most winning humorist was Stacy Makishi, funny yet incisive…a truly amazing performance.
The Independent
Her performance takes us past the borders that separate the comedic and the tragic…full of energy, intimacy and vitality.
LibrePensadores
Her witty use of language and simple props make experiencing her work a comic journey into the secrets of everyday life.
Umelec International

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Stay!
Elizabeth Taylor lifts the petticoats of love gone to the dogs. Noir collides with Pet Rescue in this hilarious examination of co-dependence, malicious domination and subversion of the natural order. (Duration 45 minutes, 2 performers, 2 on the road)
Bull: The True Story
Here “lies” a true story about luck, maps, kidnap, a lost ransom, lost love, donuts, Hawaii 5-0, Fargo, betrayal and lies. This is a true story. (47 mins, 1 on stage, 3 on the road.)
You Are Here…But Where am I?
Part installation, part one to one interrogation. A political intervention and poetic collaboration between an audience member who unknowingly creates their own personal passport. (Duration can vary, 1 performer, 2 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Around the World in a Lunar Day is an upliftingly sad and elegiac tale about love, loss and moonlight. (1 performer, comprised of 3 x 20 minute separate sets, each as a standalone piece)
Drive takes us on a journey via Route 66, Freudian Drive Theory and quantum mechanics. A rowdy multimedia ride of a lifetime. (1 performer, 1 hour duration)

WRAP-AROUND
