Physical Theatre Reinvention

Hiya,
Gecko Theatre Company, founded in 2001 is a British Physical Theatre company who have done an spectacular reinvention of Gogol's 'The Overcoat'. It combines physical comedy, movement, Cinematic images and an evocative soundtrack said to create an "Intoxicating world" set in the industrial  1940's.  A trailer can be viewed, Here.

Secondly, Zen Zen Zo are an Australian based physical theatre company largely influenced by the  Japanese forms 'Butoh' and 'Noh'.  Have created incredible reinventions of Shakespeares 'The tempest' and 'Romeo and Juliet', 'A midsummers night Dream' and Euripedes 'Antigone'. There productions are incredibly raw, and undoubtedly my fave! A showreel can be viewed here.
