Carroll: Berserk is the research and development production that lead us to Carroll: Berserkur.

An original devised piece which blurs the boundaries between reality and the fiction of Alice's Wonderland.

The landscape of Carroll's storytelling created an interesting base for the physical and experimental style of our company, embracing his nonsense, playfulness and rhythmical style. We emphasized the role of identity within Carroll's writing.

Alice grows and shrinks as she is confronted with creatures and events from her own life that are playfully represented through the colorful characters from Lewis Carroll's literature. We devised from our own Identity, and events from the author's life, to tell the stories of different Alices.

Performed at the Drayton Arms Theatre in London August 2014.

“Looking forward to seeing where you take this gem in the future!”
