THEATER UNSPEAKABLE: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

“American Revolution does something unique: it creates a show that is genuinely enjoyable for all ages, never talking down to children or talking over their heads to the adults.” – Broadway World

History in 50 minutes—seven actors, two feet off the ground, share 21 square feet of space and recreate the entire American fight for independence from Lexington to Yorktown. Using only the actors’ bodies, voices and (pantomimed) cannons, the show evokes an epic time period in American history. Combining tongue-in-cheek humor with a dash of derring-do, the American Revolution displays the company’s rowdy brand of bare-boned and imaginative physical theater.

ABOUT THEATER UNSPEAKABLE

Six people dressed in red leotards, standing on a platform. The background is dark and the people are making a shape with their hands and arms.In 2010, Marc Frost created THEATER UNSPEAKABLE as a platform for devising new physical theater projects. To date, the company has created four original touring pieces and is currently developing its fifth project. Based in Chicago, Theater Unspeakable has performed in 20 states and Washington DC.

 

The physical theater practiced by the company draws upon the heavy influence of Marc’s time at the London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA). This two-year theater program based on the teachings of Jacques Lecoq exposed him to many different styles of theater. Since returning and founding the company, Marc has set a goal for himself and his collaborators to continue experimenting with these styles until they have broken ground on new forms of their own.
