'"The Waiting Place" ...For people just waiting. Nine audience members. Nine performers. Countless moments. One room. 5 parts somewhere. 4 parts nowhere. A place we all find ourselves. ..."The Waiting Place" is an intimate performance work investigating distinctions between the world outside and the world within. Combining animation with live performance in a series of short vignettes, "The Waiting Place" is at once somewhere and nowhere. A place we all find ourselves. It's where we confront life's paradoxes and the absurdities that variously define, embrace and confound us. Each of The Chaotic Order's performers is regarded as having an intellectual disability. It's something that informs the piece, but isn't the driving influence. For that, we look to insight, humanity and shared experience. The resulting work is darkly humorous, transcending social, ethical and cultural definitions. It's a rethinking of our perceived differences, and a call to what is common between us.'
