ARTISTIC POLICY
Third Angel makes original, inventive, and entertaining devised performance, new theatre, live art, installation, and film. The company is interested in the small things in life, the value of individual experience, the beauty to be found in the everyday, and our physical, intellectual and emotional relationship with the world around us. Third Angel’s work challenges boundaries between genres, reality and fiction, performer and audience.

FUTURE PRODUCTION
A collaboration with Mala Voadora (Lisboa). A process of mapping the world with each country defined by unexpected stories of fakes and facsimiles – a replica world written over the real one.
