A stage. One man in a wooden suit, looking like a mixture of a lay figure and some misplaced superhero. Entertaining his audience all by himself.

This September for the Sydney Fringe Festival, Justin Buchta is presenting his one-man show called WouldMan at the Old 505 Theatre.

The show is a mixture of narrative, mime, dance and mask work. There are songs and poetry, and stories are sometimes narrated but the show is not at all narrative driven. The sections of the show flow into each other and some of them are more self-explanatory than others…

WouldMan is comical, fascinating and entertaining physical theatre with energetic acting and a comprehensive and creative approach to communication.

Justin Buchta creates original works of theatre for both adults and children. He presents shows and tours theatre festivals in Portugal, the UK and France. He trained for theatre at Jacques Lecoq theatre school Paris, and is also an alumni of the Sydney College of the Arts MVA. Justin also teaches acrobatics, art, movement, mime and mask to people of all ages in Australia, the UK and Portugal. Justin teaches physical drama at the Australian Theatre for Young People in Sydney.
