parabolic theatre
Parabolic Theatre has been at the forefront of fringe interactive experiences
since 2016. The work we make is beyond mere immersive spectacle and aims to
tackle the social and political upheavals of our time, in creative and
historically connected ways. How would you deal with a large scale invasion, or
influence a government in crisis, or approach a derelict ship floating in space?
Parabolic shows are highly interactive and responsive to audiences that choose
to participate. We believe that audience agency is at the heart of what makes an
experience immersive, and so we always try to offer the freedom to actively
explore - interacting with the space, our performers and other audience members.
Our audiences will always be given a purpose for being present within the show
and have the capacity to influence the narrative and outcomes. Led by Artistic
Director, Owen Kingston, Parabolic welcomes a variety of artistic associates to
collaborate on our shows and events, as writers, directors, designers and game
masters. Our work has recently been supported by the ACE/DCMS Culture Recovery
Fund. Previous commissions have included Croydon Council, Croydonites Festival,
and Aimhigher London. If you are interested in working with us, or commissioning
us, or you just want to find out more about our work, then please feel free to
