MISSION STATEMENT

Our aim is to uncode the many layered social norms of human behaviour – to present alternative direct activity to take control of one’s surroundings. We want to push the boundaries for ourselves as well as for the audience to search for new ways to make art, experience art, live our lives and encounter things. We want our work to flow freely like water but as hard-and-fast as wrestlers sweaty grip.
