grotowski was king
Jerzy Grotowski was king. He questioned theatre to its core. What is the one thing theatre cannot be without? The relationship between actor and audience. He challenged the fundamentals of theatre such as truth and authenticity. This video is of his disciple Ryszard Cieslak. The epitome of grotowski's poor theatre. He is teaching with impulse. The usual process of acting is to build an arsenal of tricks to be able to perform in front of the audience. Grotowski beleived this to be akin to prostitution. So he developed the acting of via negativa where it was not a collection of skills but an eradication of blocks. Where the actor would lose these tricks and just act on impulse. Amazingly the ideal state of mind was not to "want to do something" but rather "resign from not doing it." His theatre is still considered to be the most exciting to witness and be apart of for the audience became actual members in the play and the plays were so intimate with the maximum amount of audience members being 100.

synth-heavy ringtone rave, mullets.
Awesome production with website, music, and videos.
Mix of the absurd and talent.
I don't know if these people are real or are self deprecating. It just makes it so much more interesting.
One of the funniest things is the dude "Ninja" having a slo mo dance in his Dark Side of the Moon boxer shorts with his junk all over the place.
To explain themselves they brand statements around such as "next level beats" "full flex" and fuck'n zef" and "high level flex zef."
"if you don't like funerals don't kick sand in a ninja's face." - Ninja
