Sophie Gee

Theatre Hunter and Gatherer

It’s as if Sophie Gee can see theatre where no one else can! With her company, Nervous Hunter (named for a poem by Rimbaud), she pursues theatricality, sometimes travelling as far as Iceland (I am such a small container for all this), sometimes transforming a vast stage into a pool of water (The Phaedra Project). The constant in the work of this graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada is the decompartmentalization of disciplines, the convergence and interaction of theatre, dance and performance. Lévriers also reflects her desire to give a voice to actors and non-actors of all backgrounds (ages, cultures, languages).
