Radiohole

Radiohole is an artist collective that has been creating original devised performance works since 1998.

In 2000, Radiohole and The Collapsable Giraffe founded the Obie Award-winning artist-run venue The Collapsable Hole, currently located in The West Village at Westbeth.

Radiohole was founded by Erin Douglass, Eric Dyer, Scott Halvorsen Gillette, and Maggie Hoffman.

Fluke is a theater work by the ensemble Radiohole. The piece parallels late 19th-century spiritualism with the technological advancements of our own era. On a claustrophobic set that mimics a crowded boat on an open seascape, the company conjures both historical characters, such as Thomas Edison, and fictional figures, including Herman Melville’s Captain Ahab. Through the use of innovative sound technology, Fluke explores the porous connections between technology and spirituality. As in all Radiohole works, the elaborate, chaotic production is operated entirely by the performers onstage.
