The New KAOS Site

Hi

Welcome to the new KAOS Theatre Website. Here you can find out a little about our history as a company. As time goes on we will be adding and updating these sections. And here in this bit is the KAOS blog. Here things will always be changing!

Over the last year or so I've have been thinking carefully about what KAOS is. I am bored of the old policy. I am tired of trying to conform to what the company used to represent. But the thing is I haven't been able to re-write our policy. Everytime I've sat down to try and define us I'm stumped. I don't want to say this is what we do because I don't want us to jam along a theme, producing variations of the same idea. KAOS is about throwing anything on the stage. KAOS is one minute physical theatre the next thing along we might make a movie. KAOS is a mad flux of material, it is never the same. It is, however, always motivated by the political and social landscape surrounding us. I try to understand the human condition through the work I make. That for me is what art is so if anything that is what KAOS is. No rules or ryhme, just reason.

Hi, my name is Alice hill

I am currently studying drama and theatre studies at A level.

I have been asked create a research project on your theatre company,

Although your website is very helpful with tour dates performances, reviews and such like I was wondering if there would be a possibility that you could help me with the background information. (History, origins of the group, who founded it, initial ideas and such like.)

I have looked on numerous other websites, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot about you. L I would really appreciate a bit of help!!!

Anything is better than nothing.

Please email me back whenever possible :D thank you for your help.

Alice Hill.

Hello Alice
I did a tour with Kaos back in 1998. I’ll answer a litle bit for you, my answer will be SO poor that it’ll entice others to correct me, then you’ll get your answers!
I believe Kaos was founded by Xavier Leret as Artistic Director in Cirencester, Wilts, but I don’t know when exactly.
Their motto or outlook was inspried by the Latin phrase – “Z Contraria Distinguct” which I think means something like – to distinguish by opposites.
Xavier is a very intellectual and passionate person which comes out in the way he directs his shows.
To say they use physical theatre is too bland, there are too many negative connotations with that terminology. Kaos use physicality to help tell a story by putting some of the subtext and unspoken words into actions. What appears on stage can be likened to a cartoon on stage with unnerving connotations.
For further inspiration you may want to look up Mladen Materic and Tatto Theatre, Theatre de Complicite and Jacques Lecoq mime school.
Though I can’t say if Xavier / Kaos is influenced by these practitioners I can certainly see a resemblance in their ways of working.
