New Paradise Laboratories (NPL) was founded to create surprising, meticulous, spiritually challenging, and wholly distinctive experimental theatre productions that investigate the human body and its capacity for physical expression, on-stage and in lfe. These productions are invented using collaborative creative processes developed by the company. The subject matter of these productions varies but the work tends to value wild humor, shock, a concern for history, a muscular visual sensibility, and a fascination with the utopian impulse.
