CABULA6
Focuses on the border between reality and fiction and the uneasy dialogue between a person’s private sense of identity and its dynamic reception in a broader social context. We search out non-traditional performance spaces that make it possible to walk this line between what is “real” and what is constructed and which can bring audience members face to face with their assumptions and expectations about who they are. We are dedicated to principles of delight, humor, investigation and adrenalin. We love to play.
