Death and the Maiden

Death and the Maiden 

by Ariel Dorfman

tríada presents Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman, an immersive theatre production, fresh from its debut in Hove this summer where it received the status of “groundbreaking” work by Fringe reviews.  

tríada is a Greco-British theatre company tackling big social issues in small, intimate, diverse spaces. We create immersive performances that provoke thought and incite conversation by dealing with the truths of the human condition. We select and perform for our audiences an array of comic, dramatic and political plays that are timeless and universal, ’discussing’ everyday issues such as relationships, family, society, love and trust. By operating in people’s 'personal space', we aim to subvert the notion of temporary suspension of disbelief, instead provoking audiences to believe, react and respond to man’s inhumanity to man.

With a distinctive, diverse use of space, tríada aims to create new experiences for our audiences, in a live, almost cinematic approach, while embracing the fascinating energy of theatre. In this way every performance is different, unique.

“Triada Theatre don’t so much break a fourth wall as pick it up, port it and enter your home with it intact.” Fringe Review 2022.
