TheatreRUN is an artistically driven international ensemble dedicated to creating original theatre in a global context.
Founded in 2003 in Paris by five graduates of the Lecoq school, it now comprises a network of artists and collaborators from Canada, USA, UK, Switzerland and Denmark. Since 2003 we have devised several original pieces and performed in Paris, New York, Edinburgh, Scalpay, Seattle, Toronto, South Carolina and Chicago.
Our name speaks to our vision of a theatre of action and movement, reinvigorating old forms while searching for new ones, creating a space where body, image and text collide to create a total theatrical language-the impulse to run is the impulse to create.
We believe the theatre has the power to make immediate, live connections with a public. It has the power to move people to see things in new ways and to allow us to reveal our vulnerability in a communal, human experience. We believe the theatre should explore the poetry of everyday life-the experiences, feelings and desires that lie behind and underneath our day-to-day reality.
Theatre is the precise form and movement of the raw energy of life.
