Complicité is a British theatre company founded in 1983 by Simon McBurney, Annabel Arden, Marcello Magni, and Fiona Gordon. Its original name was Théâtre de Complicité. The company is based in London and uses extreme movement to represent their work, with surrealist imagery. Its work has been influenced by Jacques Lecoq, Philippe Gaulier, and Monika Pagneux. The company produced their first performance in 1983, and in 1985 they won the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Complicité has gone on to receive multiple Olivier Awards and Evening Standard Awards, the Europe Theatre Prize, as well as multiple Tony Award and Drama Desk Award nominations. Their productions often involve technology such as projection and cameras, and cover serious themes.
They describe the main principles of their work as "seeing what is most alive, integrating text, music, image and action to create surprising, disruptive theatre".
