More on Double Edge Theatre
Description from Wikipedia:
Double Edge Theatre is a physical theatre company located in Ashfield, Massachusetts. Artistic Director Stacy Klein co-founded the theater with designer Carroll Durrand in 1982 while at Tufts University. The company uses physical training and improvisation to creates original performances. After 15 years of working in Boston, Double Edge relocated in 1997 to The Farm, a center for performance and training, which serves as the home for the ensemble members.A new house within Ashfield has become a home for theater students and collaborators from around the world., Double Edge's productions frequently draw on textual sources for material and inspiration, including Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, Mikhail Bulgakov's Master and Margarita and the short stories and visual art of Bruno Schulz, in a piece calledRepublic of Dreams. Throughout the company's stages of work, other sources have included the languages and cultures of the Jewish diaspora and the traditions and techniques of Latin American street theater. An archive of materials from Double Edge's production history was recently created at UMass/Amherst's Special Collections and University Archives.
Double Edge's name in part comes from the double-edged axe known as the labrys, which was used in Bacchic sacrifices in ancient Greek cult-worship. Double Edge's first production, Rites, was based on Euripides's The Bacchae.
