cabula6 (cabula seis),

Founded in 2000 with its production of “The Love Project”, cabula6 is an
international performance company based in Europe and the United States. We come from Catalunya, New York, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Austria, Germany, Montenegro, Japan and England. We come from various performance backgrounds including contemporary dance, theater, fine arts, journalism, music, Olympic gymnastics and film.

It has been our goal to create a malleable structure - with performance and theatrical expression at its core - that allows us to ask the questions we think are important about ourselves and the worlds we live in. Our work ranges from stage pieces, to site-specific works, to films, to projects of social intervention.

We are interested in hybrid forms. Tricks of perception. Use of our imagination and expressive possibilities of the body. We are interested in the nature of the spaces in which we perform and the relationship between intimate experiences of self and group experiences of self. We search for involved forms of audience collusion that give a sense of renewed agency to both us as creators and performers as well as the audience as participants. And we try to continually ask ourselves: How do we engage with the world? How do reality and fiction interpenetrate one another? Where does our power lie and at which points are we at the mercy of forces greater than our own wills?

Going out from the belief that ours is an age of radical fragmentation, we ultimately see our pieces as balancing acts between responsive shape-shifting, on the one hand, and efforts to consolidate on the other. Working primarily by means of investigation and improvisation, we generate fresh material that is then polished and manipulated and formed into original texts. We experiment with spaces and the nature of public gatherings, often implicating audiences directly into the piece. We are acutely aware that performances are not solely moments of expression and communication, but that they are events in their own right, and we like to play with that fact.

Dedicated to principles of delight, humor, investigation and adrenalin,

We love to play.
