Inspired by the quiet but deliberate defiance of Czechoslovakian dissidents ahead of the Velvet Revolution, a movement that ended decades of authoritarian rule, Samizdat takes its name and its practice from what was once banned. This is live theatre born of that lineage. Samizdat is passed, not announced. The messages unfold in living rooms, parks, beer halls, alleys, and other hidden corners on a need-to-know basis. Specifics are released gradually, privately, and with careful intention. Samizdat is intimate, fleeting, and forbidden to exist in plain sight. It is both a product of and response to this moment. If this has reached you, it was meant to. Discretion is protection. Bricolage presents Samizdat (Banned Materials): three plays, three months, in hidden locations known only to ticket buyers. Staged in the intimate, immersive style of Living Room Theatre, each performance is a clandestine adventure—provocative, thrilling, and entirely unforgettable. The locations are secret. The stories are prescient. Seating is extremely limited. Secure your ticket and more will be revealed.

About Bricolage Production Company
Bricolage Production Company was founded by a small group of mutli-disciplinary artists in 2001, led by Jeffrey Carpenter, a native Pittsburgher and graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. His inspiration for the company was based largely on the environmental philosophy of Claude Levi Strauss, who used the term ‘bricolage’ to mean the innovative use of what’s at hand.
