 Imago
Theatre began in 1979 performing mask theater in small communities
in the Northwest of America, but it was only six years later, in
1986, that the company's international touring began and continues
to this day. Imago's FROGZ premiered on Broadway at the acclaimed
New Victory Theatre in March 2000 and returned there in May 2002.
Artistic Directors
Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad are trained in the methods of theater
genius Jacques Lecoq with influences from Robert Wilson,
Richard Foreman, Alain Platel and Trisha Brown.
These mentors have aided Imago's creators to produce some of the
most innovative performances in the United States.
The company's
ingenuity has manifested itself in numerous stage 'theatrics' such
as ' a vertigo induced tilting stage with Jean-Paul Sartre's No
Exit, a monstrous 14 foot wheel invasion in Richard Foreman's
Symphony of Rats, and the underwater soliloquies of
Carol Triffle's Oh Lost Weekend. Imago's productions transport
audiences to mysterious, absurd and fantastical universes difficult
to describe yet hard to forget.
The company
has been honored consistently by the National Endowment for the
Arts and has been privileged to present work on stage and television
in Europe, Asia, Russia and North America.
