Hoyle's productions, like Tings Dey Happen, Border People, and The Real Americans, are created through a painstaking, far-ranging interview process he calls "journalistic theater." This approach emphasizes real voices and experiences, aiming to foster understanding and highlight the complexities of the world's societal issues.
Hoyle reflects on his journey towards his new show, stating, "I actually set up quite a few meetings in South Africa, but the more I talked to people there, they said, 'The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is almost 30 years old. South Africa is struggling with corruption and economic tailspin.'" This critique illustrates the challenges of reconciling historical narratives amidst ongoing struggles.
When discussing Colombia, Hoyle shares, "Pretty much everyone there, when I would bring up reconciliation, would be like, 'What? Oh, no. There's no reconciliation. We're still fighting.' I thought, Oh, right. I sort of got too theoretical. They're not at the end of this civil conflict. They're trying to avoid one." This reveals the complexities and realities of reconciliation amidst ongoing conflict.
