TriMil is the collaborative artistic effort of director Tristan Powell and playwright John Aldous. TriMil rejects sentimentality and nostalgia in the theatre and seeks instead to inspire a full spectrum of emotional and intellectual responses to our work. TriMil believes the role of the theatre in contemporary society is to probe the structures of power that govern our material reality, exposing contradictions and exploding myths.

Tristan Powell is a director. At Northwestern: References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot, The Visit, and My Fair Lady. NY: British Honduras Fantasy by Ariel Zetina (Trans Theatre Fest @ The Brick.)
