Anthropocosmic

Anthropocosmic is a devised piece of experimental, mixed-media theatre, created by Thomas Mayer and Niall Fallon. The piece combines simple, primary characters, object work and relational movement with live music, soundscapes, projection and camera work. Created at the experimental arts centre Nau Coclea, in Catalunya.

Freely flowing from the everyday to the absurd, the piece explores the mundaneness of life with characters we grew up with, and other times expanding into ritualistic, mythological and cosmic spaces. The project came from a recurrent performative exploration of touching on the modesty of our own roots in relation to bigger, fantastical spaces. Two modern men in a room with a guitar and a keyboard convey their confused vision of something bigger, something spiritual - the tragedy and modest beauty of this conflict lie at the heart of the piece.

The piece premiered at Nau Coclea Catalunya during the national Festival Dia de ‘Art.
