Nature Theater of Oklahoma

Led by Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper, the Obie-award-winning Nature Theater of Oklahoma took the world by storm when they launched Life & Times in 2009. See the final installments of this obsessive, ambitious 9-episode cycle chronicling the unremarkable life story of company member Kristin Worrall. Spanning song, animation, illuminated manuscript, and now film, the artists taught themselves new mediums as they went along. Equal parts ridiculous and virtuosic, Liska and Copper push everyday speech, mundane experience, and theater to their most epic proportions.

“This kind of language does not belong in the theater… Let's use it.”
