A playing style that fuses spectacle and physicality, the grotesque and the fantastic, with provoking depth and subtlety. A vibrant and international company drawing on diverse theatrical traditions to produce a dramatic blend that is vivid, exciting and challenging.

Small World explore their cross cultural playing style by adapting works to specific, unusual locations.

"Wildly played... tongue-in-cheek but without jeopardising the dripping sense of creepiness they generate" - TIME OUT

Small World was formed in 1990 to work with artists from varying arts backgrounds and cultures.

Fine arts, performing arts and theatrical arts merge in an expressive style that integrates the sonic, visual and theatrical media.

A play reflects the time and society from which it stems.
An actor embodies his own national heritage.
A director draws on his country's theatrical style and tradition.
An artist works within the values and conventions of this discipline.

By forging these elements in the international melting pot, Small World finds common ground and a way of expressing it that speaks excitingly to all.
