About The Chimera Project
Powerful, risk-taking and fiercely contemporary, The Chimera Project creates visceral theatre experiences that break down the social veneer between audience and performer. Founded in 1999 by award-winning choreographer Malgorzata Nowacka, The Chimera Project confronts the audience with high-octane physicality, ferocious technique and fearlessly gritty themes. The Chimera Project is active in Creation, Education, Film, Production and Performance. For more info see: www.chimeraproject.org
