Hero Complex! Live Action Theatre

Donation protected
Live Action Theatre is back for Fringe 2015! From the company that brought you the kick-assery of John Blade and The Tournament, comes Hero Complex!
What is the litmus of a legacy? Can you trust your hands to fight if your memories betray you? Eddie is an aging super hero whose entire past is suddenly called into question. In his final battle he must vanquish a desperate opponent in the fight for his life, his legend, and his very sanity!

This summer we're looking to raise money to create the most face melting show we can. We've got a live foley artist, plan to shoot over 50 rounds of ammunition a night, and space bugs. That's right, SPACE BUGS!!! Help us reach our goal and come be part of the fun! You won't want to miss this!

Written by Chris Niebling and Kyle Encinas
Directed by Lex Davis
Fight Choreography by Robb Hunter and Craig Lawrence
Featuring: Peter Boyer, Rachel Menyuk, James Finley, Kristen Pilgrim, Mallory Shear

Live Action Theatre injects high octane action directly into the audience experience by showing such skill in the art of staged violence that it serves to heighten and expand the narrative. LAT strives to put audiences on the edge of their seats by making fights an intrinsic theatrical element. We are professional artists who have dedicated our lives to studying how  to create the illusion of ass kicking on stage and in film. We do spoofy martial arts tournaments, throw down bar room brawls, epic gun battles, Bourne style tactical fights, domestic violence, cuthroat rapier duels,  and everything in between. We aim for optimal audience entertainment and wish to elevate the art and practice of staged violence to the highest performance standards. We're also super fun and goofy and you should be our friend.
See? Plus space bugs. Did we mention SPACE BUGS???!!!!
