Mockery Playground with Daniel Orrantia

Mockery Playground: Experiments in Collective Chaos

with Daniel Orrantia

Tuesday, November 10 & Wednesday, November 11
17:30–20:30 both days
Studio Savec

Step into a playground of mockery, movement, and mischievous creation.

In this energetic two-day workshop, we’ll dive into Bouffon and other dynamic forms of theatrical play, exploring what happens when an ensemble begins to think, move, and create as a single, pulsating organism.

Through physical, improvisational, and ensemble-driven exercises, we’ll tune into collective impulses, amplify shared rhythms, and push ideas until they bubble over into grotesque, ecstatic, and unexpected theatrical forms.

This isn’t about controlling the scene. It’s about surrendering to the game, embracing absurdity, and discovering how the energy of the group can shape and distort theatrical material in real time.
