Miloco

Miloco's work reflects the background and skills of its diverse, multicultural ensemble. Rehearsals are a meeting point for actors to explore internal and external boundaries (national, cultural, linguistic, and artistic) with the aim of developing work that helps both to understand and to break down these barriers. This creates a foundation for performances that both celebrate difference (tolerance) and examine the dangers of xenophobia (prejudice).
The challenge of creating theatre that is dynamic in form and relevant in content is met through the constant exploration of working methods and theatrical styles. Amidst this chaos, the constant of stories and storytelling remains the fulcrum of all our work.

Our current company consists of artists from across Europe and the Americas. Miloco was formerly known as Misery Loves Company (founded 1994); between the years 1998 and 2001, Miloco changed the dramaturgical direction of the theatre Misery Loves Company, focusing on the development of original, devised theatre.

Mission Statement: Crossing Boundaries

Miloco is dedicated to creating new theatre, devised in rehearsal by our ensemble. Highly energetic performances combining clown, live music, song, movement and improvisation are created through an evolving rehearsal process requiring an ensemble of actors working together over an extended period.
