The real work starts with surrender. White Flag believes that the survival of theatre depends on our ability to relinquish our preconceptions of what live performance looks like, how it serves us, and how it is made. Our mission is to create deeply curious theatre that honors the complexities and difficulties of human experience, holding ourselves responsible for achieving the highest quality in both process and product. We practice an intensely collaborative approach to devising and scripting to generate performances of arresting imagery, heightened physicality, and tragicomic absurdity. In the interest of exploring what the live artsare becoming in the 21st century, White Flag is also dedicated to interdisciplinary dialogue and touring to connect and collaborate with a diverse range of communities.As a group,we relish discomfort, risk, extremity, and the relentless pursuit of fun.
