Help Voloz Collective raise £5,000 towards the upfront costs of producing TWO shows at EdFringe 2023.
Hello family, friends, friends of friends, family friends, and exceptionally kind people browsing the internet hoping to give money to artists they don't know.
We are VOLOZ COLLECTIVE, a multi-award-winning international physical theatre company that reinvents and recharges physical comedy - exploiting the capacities of the human body and blurring the lines between the theatrical and cinematic.
This year, we are bringing TWO SHOWS (AHHH) to the Edinburgh Fringe. The upfront costs of this come to a very daunting £25,000. With your help, we are hoping to raise £5,000 towards the cost of accommodation in Edinburgh for our team.
Our debut show - ‘The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much’ - toured the UK before selling out its entire run at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival and opening to a series of five star reviews. ‘The Scotsman’ described the show as ‘physical theatre at its most immaculate’, while ‘Whatsonstage’ called it ‘the theatrical equivalent of a well-crafted Netflix thriller’.
'The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much' is what you would get if Wes Anderson, Alfred Hitchcock and a Spaghetti western had a baby. It’s a fast-paced cinematic whodunnit that follows Roger Clement, a Frenchman living in 1960's New York. a minor delay saves him from an explosion - throwing his ordered world into chaos. Roger then decides to chase his would-be assassins around the globe as he tries to discover the truth.
Our second show, 'The Life Sporadic of Jess Wildgoose' is brand new! Pixar and Tarantino collide in this madcap tragicomic tale of one woman’s meteoric rise and devastating fall in early 2000’s corporate America. In 'The Life Sporadic,' Jess confronts universal aspects of the human experience, such as ambition, failure, self-help literature, and of course, high-risk equity trading. This show interrogates how power and influence are earned, how they can be co-opted, and whether it is possible, or useful, to scale our own suffering against the woes of the world.
We are incredibly grateful for any amount you can give to support us.
Lots of Love,
Voloz Collective
