Description
Summary:Artistic Fraud’s latest production, Icycle, continues this Newfoundland Theatre company’s mandate to develop new and innovative processes of production and performance. Since it was formed in 1994, Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland has produced, presented and/or toured several strikingly original productions, earning Artistic Director, Jillian Keiley, the John Hirsch Prize for emerging directors in 1998. Icycle clearly builds on Artistic Fraud’s earlier productions, Under Wraps, Cheats and Signals, but it also pushes the company in new directions with the use of a giant puppet and suspended xylophone bars. What has not changed, however, is the meticulous and inspired work of director Keiley and her special and complex approach to productions, self-termed, Kaleidography.
