tactical : guerilla : experimental : immersive : theatre
theatre of ophidia is a collective of actors, artists and performers from a range of media backgrounds with the intent of creating hyper realities whether intentional or not.
we regularly coordinate experimental performances and installations as well as producing site specific theatre. our primary focus is on the manifestation of beliefs in the hidden (the occult) and external reality (the exoteric), allowing theatre of ophidia to be a working mélange of creativity, myth and manipulation that creates an interactive experience for both the performer and audience alike.
