Target Margin Theater Mission Statement
|
|
Art offers a
metaphor for reality. Experimental art pushes the boundary of that
metaphor so that it distorts the world we know, thereby leading us to
connect to that world more viscerally. This paradox is the core of our
work at Target Margin Theater. We upset the familiar order to reawaken
our engagement with it. Unlike those who attempt to present difficult
works by making them look and sound easily recognizable to an audience,
we believe that divergence from strict reality challenges us to
understand ourselves better. Work that is intellectually rigorous has
an extra obligation to welcome its audience along for the ride. We like
storytelling, low comedy, big characters and surprise. Just as our work
invites endless interpretation, we try to offer many doors into it.
Together these qualities yield a Target Margin theatrical
experience. We do not completely understand it, yet we recognize it
and it moves us.
