Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland
Artistic Director: Robert Chafe
Big edgy theatre from the big edge of a big country.
Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland was formed in St. John’s in 1995. Over the past eighteen years the company has been hailed as one of English Canada’s most daring and innovative companies. The works of Artistic Fraud, and of its primary creators, director Jillian Keiley and playwright Robert Chafe, have played across the country to high acclaim, garnering Jill the 2004 Siminovitch Prize for Directing, and Robert the 2010 Governor General’s Award for Drama. Since their inception, the company has been developing a unique brand of choral performance, the goal of which is rooted in the theatrical possibilities of high precision in large choral groups. With often minimal setting, props, and technical elements, the ensemble chorus is given full reign and responsibility for all visual and aural elements. Though carefully plotted, and meticulously developed, the goal of the work is the appearance of effortlessly organic; a performer driven stage where spectacle meets story.
