Description Archeologic, a season of two performances by Entr'acte Theatre: 1. On Archeology directed by Nick Tsoutas, 2. Ostraka, directed by Pierre Thibaudeau.
"Entr’acte has put together two brilliant experimental theatre works under the generic title Archeologic. Both works essentially deal with the mystique of spiritual exile, but from opposed emotional positions and differing theoretical perspectives", Inner-City Voice.
“…The group’s move to embrace the spoken word and a grater degree of involvement from other art forms…breaking new ground without losing its identity, the results were exciting…Entr’acte’s new, more outward-looking attitude…has developed…into a stimulating and accessible synthesis of movement. … Ostraka take(s) a complex theme and explore(s) its essence in a series of abstractions that were much more theatrically exciting….” Sykes, Mixed Blessings”, Dance Australia.
NOTE: look up separately On Archeology and Ostraka.
