Six performers lay bare what others try to conceal: human imperfections, vulnerabilities and longings.

In Marjorie’s World Unhinged, von Stockert marries dance and spoken word, pre-recorded film and projected live camera work, intricate props and a moving set.

On stage and on screen the stories of six very different characters entwine, each of them looking for their own way of escaping reality. Characters ranging from aging ballerinas to factory workers are brought to life by Tilted’s multigenerational company.

“Speech in dance theatre is hard to pull off. Von Stockert’s scripts are witty and well-focused… there’s something distinctive about von Stockert’s work, an individual outlook, its own particular atmosphere.”

Zoe Anderson, The Independent, November 2006

“This marvelous blend of dance and theatre, for seven performers, film and mechanical furry dog, is closely, hilariously, observed, and touchingly aware of the sorrows of existence.” 

Robert Beale, Manchester Evening News, January 2006
