"Gargantua"

Since childhood Dominic Robertson / Ergo Phizmiz PLC has been writing and producing DIY operas, becoming in time one of the most radical proponents of the apparently dying artform.

"The Third Policeman"

More recently his work has brought him into contact with some of the opera world's most exciting companies, including Tete a Tete Opera, Worm Avantgardistische State, and more recently Mahogany Opera Group.

"UOEIA: The Histories of Yodeling"

   
His shows include "The Mourning Show" (2010), "Fulcanelli's Shoes" (2011), "The Third Policeman" (2012), "Gargantua" (2013), "Gala" (2013), "UOEIA: The Histories of Yodeling" (2013), "Peashoot" (2014), "A Fairytale of World War II" (2015), "The United Kingdom of Earth" (2016-17), and "Mozart vs Machine" (2013-17).
