Sebastian Rex
Sebastian Rex is the artistic director of theatre company - Acting Like Mad
and of Sebastian Rex Dance Group
Both companies aim at creating weird and wonderful worlds which make strong indirect statements about our world. Both companies abandon, to varying degrees, naturalism and consequential psychological analysis in favour of form and narrative in order to discover what effect they can have on the theatrical experience.
"It is obvious that Rex’s two companies deserve a bigger platform for experimentation"
