Theater // Immersive // VR
Each project seeks to familiarize the unknown and to de-familiarize the known. Our intent is to reshape the landscape of theatre by being a globally focused company that speaks locally. Our work is created through extensive research and partnerships with our community, artists of all mediums and backgrounds, and other non-profit advocacy institutions.
