Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into stand up comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics he always manages to bring up (just did it!) and is fully aware of how douchey he looks. His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He's performed on the Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the Comedy Central Half Hour, and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project, and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today

An Illyrian tribe has undergone the full spectrum of shock. From the unexpected & strange slaughtering of its people, to the ‘miracle’ that Rozafa has finally birthed her own child - much to her dismay of the term. Rozafa’s husband, Pax, and his newly appointed brothers are to erect a fort so powerful of meaning that perhaps their wives, too, shall fall into the abyss of a promising future. Yet is such a construction possible without Rozafa’s pagan ways?

Fit for the season, Fear of... confronts the spookiest of all monsters: an impending deadline and one woman’s battle against procrastination, the voices in her head, and the vulnerability of being watched without warning.Fear of… originated from my master’s thesis at LAMDA and incorporates classical/original test, movement, improv, and music.

Set against the backdrop of present day Paris, Pinned is a contemporary queer love story that blends French and English (including surtitles for both) with live cello, creating a dialogue for modern love. Claire, an academic from New Zealand finishing her anthropology masters in Paris, meets Léo, a disillusioned Parisian cellist caught in the slipstream of her own life. The two women form a bond that challenges them both to confront who they are and what they want from their futures.

The Countess of Castiglione comes to life in an "impossible interview" that blends video and stage, history and myth. An icon of the Risorgimento, an *avant la lettre* influencer, and an Empress by vocation, she continues to challenge how we perceive the feminine today.  A diva. A political weapon. Virginia Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione, a key figure in the Italian Risorgimento, is invited onto a fictional TV show called *Free Women Suite*. She shares her story in an "impossible interview," where the pace set by a probing host, played by the same actress on screen, fuels a sharp, rapid-fire exchange. The performance strikes a dizzying balance between the real and the virtual, the past and the present, history and imagination. In the 19th century, Virginia was a revolutionary woman: uninhibited, intelligent, shrewd, irreverent, free, emancipated, and powerful. She spoke five languages and dabbled in the stock market. She set trends, meticulously crafting every look, and never wore the same dress twice. By carefully curating her own image, she built a myth around herself, becoming an icon of her era, as well as a valuable political pawn. At a very young age, she became the mistress of the future King of Italy and was sent by her cousin, Cavour, to seduce Napoleon III for the sake of the Italian cause, transforming her body, intellect, and presence into instruments of power. In return, she harbored one grand dream: to become an Empress. But fate had other plans. Virginia’s persona intertwines with the third Tarot card, The Empress, a symbol of creativity, fertility, beauty, and feminine power: the woman who gives birth to herself and takes center stage. The performance presents a magnetic and strikingly contemporary portrait: a woman who chose to turn her life into a performance and her image into a language, without shying away from her shadows, her vulnerabilities or her solitude. As they witness the exchange between the interviewer and the Countess, the audience itself is prompted to confront a crucial question: can women today be viewed through fresh eyes, or do we continue to perceive them through the same old stereotypes? Perhaps it is not Virginia who needs to be re-evaluated, but rather our own way of looking at the feminine, a perspective still frequently unable to fully embrace its complexity and autonomy. For, as she herself says, “within me were so many different women, all wanting to emerge, to come to life, to blossom... like so many splendid flowers in a single garden.” Are we ready to change the way we see?
