About Theater Mitu

Founded in 1998, Theater Mitu has earned wide reputation as an adventuresome and dynamic ensemble of artists. Recognized internationally for their innovative approach to theater, the Company weaves elements from the classical theater and ritual traditions of Japan, India, Bali, Iran, China, and Thailand into a method of theatrical exploration designed to push western artists in new and unexpected directions. Under the leadership of artistic director Rubén Polendo, the Company is dedicated to exploring theatrical form, and supporting the creative growth of its collaborators, who are at the creative core of each piece the Company produces. Its considerable body of work has taken on a variety of forms: developmental work with some of the world's leading theatrical innovators, productions in conjunction with universities and conservatories, outreach to non-theatrical communities, a vast array of educational programs and research & training with its members.

Mitu's work has been developed and presented at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco; the McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ; the Perseverance Theater in Alaska; the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles; and the Public Theater, INTAR, Lincoln Center Theater, National Asian American Theater Company,  Bard College, The Juilliard School, New York University, and New York Theatre Workshop. Theater Mitu is the Company-in-Residence at New York Theatre Workshop.

Theater Mitu Mission

Theater Mitu's mission is to use the power of the theatrical to strengthen the soul of the community. We explore and transliterate ancient ritual and performance traditions to generate a vibrant theatrical vocabulary that we call Whole Theater. We define this as a theatrical experience whose form is rigorously visual, aural, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Whole Theater creates a sacred landscape within which to shatter the illusion of an isolated human experience and re-ignite the unignorable strength that lies in communion.
