"Reza Abdoh’s experimental performances pushed the boundaries of theatre"

"His plays, which were usually set in abandoned warehouses and buildings, took theatre out of the theatre hall itself and meshed it with reality while treating social and political life with pure anarchy. From scenes of BDSM to rave culture, crime thrillers, and fairy tales, Abdoh’s dark, yet equally luminous plays provoked viewers to consider the political atrocities of their time, including president Ronald Reagan's oppressive regime, the stigmatisation of Aids, and America’s deeply embedded homophobia and racism."

Sobre o lugar / espaço :

"One of Abodh’s most defining factors was the setting of his plays. He would physically remove performance from the theatre itself and place it in unsuspecting locations, such as disused hotels and abandoned warehouses for the ways in which these spaces translated his ideas."
