Co-founded in 1998 by Annabel Soutar and Alex Ivanovici , Porte Parole aims to draw attention to, and shed much needed light on serious social and political issues. Through their bilingual documentary plays, Porte Parole explores, interviews, researches, and challenges the information given in government and other official documents.
It is going beyond the spoken word to find the conflicts, searching for that moment that strikes you, the gestures, pauses, and the natural rhythm's of a person's speech patterns that contributes most to the story.
It is the breaking down in the person's syntax of speech , with the umm's and the aahhh's that play a major role in finding some of the real connections. The real story emerges behind the words and the gestures, the true feelings come through with the pauses and the breaking down in the syntax patterns. This is an important element at the center of creating authentic documentary theatre .
