About
The Zero Theatre
At The Zero Theatre, nothing is staged and everything is revealed by accident. A Fool like me wanders in, misplaces her script, bows to a lamp post, and somehow uncovers the very thing she didn’t know she was searching for.
This is a theatre of a theatre of gentle undoing — a small, magical space where the curtains open inward. Here we explore the theatre within: the shy stories, the stubborn patterns, the sweet confusions, the wisdom disguised as nonsense.
Sometimes we perform; sometimes the wind performs for us; sometimes we simply sit and let life overhear itself.
​
And if the evening goes well — as it tends to when foolishness is allowed to roam — you leave not only a little more yourself… but even better, a delightful little less of yourself. Less armoured, less tangled, less theatrically “you.” After all, as any good Fool discovers sooner or later, there isn’t a fixed “you” in the first place — just a travelling circus of stories passing through.
​
And as Wei Wu Wei whispered with impeccable timing, what you’re looking for is what is looking. At The Zero Theatre, we merely help the two of you catch each other in the act.
JOIN THE ZERO THEATRE PERFORMANCE
The story never repeats itself because the audience never does; the moment you sit down, you are already someone the last play hasn’t met.
Listen intently to a voice singing without words.
It may charm you into crying, force you to dance, fill you with rage, or make you jump for joy.
You can't tell where the music ends and the emotions begin, for the whole thing is a kind of music—the voice playing on your nerves as the breath plays on a flute.
All experience is just that, except that its music has many more dimensions than sound.
It vibrates in the dimensions of sight, touch, taste, and smell, and in the intellectual dimension of symbols and words—all evoking and playing upon each other.”
— Alan Watts

The evening settles, the shadows of the banyan tree grow theatrical, and your seat — quite without permission — becomes the doorway into The Zero Theatre.
Our Community
The Zero Theatre community is a loose, laughter-stitched gathering of people who show up with no agenda except to be surprised. We meet, disperse, and meet again — never quite the same group twice, yet always recognisable by the shared sparkle of those who enjoy getting delightfully lost together.
