MutationWeek

A week where performances are allowed to change as they go. Move your cursor across the field — the stage reacts to you, as our works do.

The stage is not a place but a condition. No performance is played the same way twice. The audience is co-author, not spectator. The error is a material. Darkness is light too. Time does not have to move forward. The text is allowed to break

Theatre that will not hold still

Mutation Week gathers experimental performance: works that change between showings, labs where the audience changes the rules, and site-specific pieces in rooms not built for theatre.
