THEATER OFTEN INVOLVES AN AUDIENCE COMING TO A SPACE TO PASSIVELY WATCH.
JOY AND PANG PUTS THE SPECTATOR AT THE CENTER OF ITS PRODUCTIONS.
Experimental and immersive, Joy and Pang blurs the lines between life, audience, actor, and performer. We seek to move beyond the performance, event or space by involving community, joining worlds, and opening hearts. Productions with heart and noise.
LIFE LIVED FULLY. ALL THE JOY. ALL THE PANG.
Joy and Pang is Anastasia Wilson and Rachel Hynes, two performance artists and ruckus-makers who change the world by providing fun, sensuous, interactive performance experiences that actively ask audiences to self-investigate and ultimately to heal.
With the closing of cities due to the pandemic, they saw and heard stories of isolation, loneliness and longing for communal experiences. As theatre-makers, they saw an opportunity to connect people, even through the quarantine. Their COVID-safe online performance, Love Story: A Meal In Five Courses, invites the audience to collaboratively tell a multi-sensory love story through a fine dining experience. After their first test audience, they knew they had something special. After the month-long run sold out in 14 days, and attracted audiences from all over the world, they knew they had to expand.
