Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

I look for intersections between the political and spiritual realities of people, and use a wide variety of approaches to put them on stage. I have always loved staging epic forms of theatre, and I write and translate such works as well. My work for stage -- plays, adaptions and translations-- sometimes walk the edge between realism and the absurd; they are sometimes heightened historical dramas; or they may be adaptations of poetic and fictional works. While I take internationalism and multi-culturalism seriously, I also seek to make the invisible visible, and the intangible tangible in a way that only live theatre allows.
