Tabula Rasa explored the relationship between two people trying to deal with the present while unable to escape their pasts. Through the incorporation of elements of pantomime and abstract lighting, the seemingly naturalistic play has an underbelly of rich stylization...

The purpose was to test the audience’s sensual boundaries while experimenting with new lighting styles in relation to those senses. The show takes queue from the likes of Antonin Artaud, George Ryga and Henrik Ibsen.

Presented at the 2005 Edmonton Fringe Festival at the Varscona Theatre August 18-28, 2005 to strong reviews and audience response, Tabula Rasa was written by Adam Wilson and Jack Grinhaus, directed by Tom Osbourne and starred Jack Grinhaus and Lauren Brotman. Lighting design was done by Jack Grinhaus and Sound Design and Website by David Wahiche.



 
" When you come into the theater, you have to be willing to say, "We're all here to undergo a communion, to find out what the hell is going on in this world." If you're not willing to say that, what you get is entertainment instead of art, and poor entertainment at that. "
DAVID MAMET, Three Uses of the Knife
