ARTISTIC POLICY

Pacitti Company also produces the SPILL Festival of Performance, London's premiere biennale of experimental theatre and live art.

The Company blends formal disciplines and techniques with social sciences and personal politics. This bespoke process enables Pacitti Company to serve audiences with works of vital artistic and cultural value, while always remaining accessible.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
If you want to see the future of theatre and the future of dance, start here.
Metro
Beautifully constructed visual poetics.
The Age, Melbourne Australia (Civil)
Rattles the nerves of even the most hardened experimental theatre-goer.
Real Time, Australia (Finale)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Civil
Drawing on Quentin Crisp's infamous autobiography The Naked Civil Servant, Civil explores liberty and disobedience. Civil is a series of images and ideas placed in relation to notions of legacy.
Nudity & explicit content. 60 minutes no interval. 1 performer and 1 technician on the road. Suitable for small and middle-scale theatres, and gallery spaces.
A Forest
A Forest is an intimate event fusing cutting edge sound work with upfront live performance. A stab wound in the heart of an easy life, this is desperately uneasy theatre.
Nudity & explicit content. 60 minutes no interval. 3 performers and 1 technician on the road. Suitable for small and middle scale theatres, and gallery spaces.
Finale
Abstracting Zola’s Therese Raquin, Finale prioritises the themes of the book: deception, lust, spite and domination. It is remade site-specifically with local practitioners everywhere it shows.
Nudity & explicit content. 75 minutes no interval. 3 performers and 1 technician on the road. Engages up to 30 local performers in 2 week workshop process. Site-specific.
Intermission
Intermission leads a dirty war on things we should get straight. Propaganda, indignation and blasphemy all play their part in this new purge from Pacitti Company.
Nudity & explicit content. 60 minutes no interval. 1 performer and 1 technician on the road. Suitable for small and middle scale theatres, and gallery spaces.

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
78 rpm
Based on Bach’s St Matthew Passion, 78 rpm is a large scale secular outdoor work. Pacitti Company will collaborate with singers, musicians, filmmakers and other artists from around the world.
