This mind blowing show is a montage of thirty, two minute plays, all performed over a duration of sixty minutes. Each ensemble member in the show will also only be playing themselves onstage. Each audience member will walk away having seen an entirely different show from the last. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being a highly experimental theatre, the Neo-Futurists strive to reach those who haven\u2019t connected to conventional theatre. Their mission states a belief of \u201cTheater that is a fusion of sport, poetry, and living-newspaper\u201d. The Neo-Futurists are in the now. They tend to even bring an absurdist approach to their material, breaking the social norm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not to be confused or expected to find this show comedic from beginning to end, Kieth Ecker, who reviewed a performance during the run of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, explains: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The aim of the Neo-Futurists isn\u2019t to showcase a series of knee-slapping sketches. It\u2019s pure artistic expression, a sort of mental and emotional purging for the performers that, quite often, resonates in some way with the audience\u201d.
