Since 2014, Bad New Days has established a unique presence in Canadian theatre creating visually bold and physically innovative theatrical works that explore the complexity of the human condition through a volatile blend of lightness and gravity, drawing from the theatrical traditions of the past and re-imagining them in a contemporary aesthetic context.
Our aesthetic is self-consciously ‘theatrical’. We refer to it as Contemporary, Poetic Theatre of Gesture. It challenges theatrical naturalism and the traditional script-driven creation model, giving primacy to the body, to the image and to emotion in storytelling to transcend linguistic barriers and discover new contemporary theatrical forms evolved to respond directly to the times we live in.
