Mack's artistic statement is as follows:
As an artist, I am most inspired when working on big, spectacle musicals or in small, devising or conceptual pieces. At first glance these may seem disconnected but what I am so attracted to within these types of theatre is my love for hyper-stylization and creating the “impossible”. In an age where we are inundated with technology, AI, and screens that tell us how to play, I believe that theatre can be used as a tool to encourage imagination and self creation in audiences and performers of all ages. I firmly believe that life is absurd and theatre should be too.
