A devised creation inspired by Plato’s Atlantis, the project featured GHL’s unique approach to incivility Active Access Design. Access tools are incorporated into the devising process as creative obstacles, ensuring the work is accessible in every moment.
GHL is an international collective and network of companies and artists working together in shared practice. Home countries of participating organizations and artists include Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, the U.S.A., Canada, Argentina, Brazil, and China.
Practices include International Devised Collaboration, Multi-Lingual, Multi Disciplinary and Physical Theatre approaches, Long Distance Technologies (use of communication Technologies in creation and presentation) and Active Access Design (integrating Access Design such as audio description, etc. as core creative elements).
A project is workshopped in multiple countries over the space of a year. Projects have premiered at Chicago’s Seppenwolf Theatre (U.S.A.) and London’s The Pleasance Theatre (UK).
