Living Structures is an international collective of artists that create immersive theatre. Living Structures utilise ‘changing spatial reality’ as a tool to engage audiences in unusual ways, using the materiality of space as tool for story telling or more generally for the making of ‘meaning’ in the theatre experience. The large-scale setups and structures they create are kinetic and can be manipulated in their expanse, shape and atmosphere. Through them they are able to envelop audiences in performance environments that move the spectator through a succession of contrasting spatial settings. This doesn’t necessarily mean that audiences simply transit from one space to another, as their audiences often remain in one space and experience a series of transformations that occur to the environment surrounding them. Living Structures' work is suggestive rather than literal, their produce experiences that are often abstract and poetic responses communicated through textures, shapes, colours, songs, sound and movement. Their critically acclaimed performance Cart Macabre was premiered at The Old Vic Tunnels in 2010. In 2012 the company premiered their performance Leviathan a hommage to [|Herman Melville's] Moby Dick at Matadero Arts Centre Madrid.
