racoco productions removes the boundaries between the visual and performing arts, the audience and the performers, and the real and the imaginary.
We create theatrical experiences in which movement, music, humor, emotion, and texture are inextricably linked. The body and everyday objects are compared, contrasted, blended, and confused to illustrate the inescapable messiness of existence.
