Theatre Group Gumbo

Theatre Group Gumbo are an Osaka-based performance group in their 12th year of productions. They have taken their shows around the world including Edinburgh, Melbourne, Launceston and now Adelaide. 2007 will see them in Hong Kong and New York so look out! Please read their bio (in the blog section) for more information on their past performances.“GUMBO”　means JUMBLE in African language, it was named for an intention of making drama with a strange power that overflows from inside. Theatre GUMBO's work is frantic, high energy, grotesque and full of black huｍor. They bewilder audiences with their absurd yet poignant form of comedy, revealing the inconsistent and ridiculous aspects of our behavior. Through aggressive direction, they expose the lies and truth of contemporary living，tempered only by laughter which hovers disturbingly between the ecstatic and hysterical.ModMySpace Profile Customizer
