Pangea World Theater illuminates the human condition, celebrates cultural differences, and promotes human rights by creating and presenting international, multi-disciplinary theater.
This is our 13th season! It has been 12 years of creating a space of deep commitment to cultural equity in the Twin Cities and building collaborations and bridges with many of our diverse communities and organizations. This is why we are calling our next season the Circle of Conscience. Its our way of deepening and enriching relationships with our existing partners, such as Mizna, The Advocates of Human Rights, The Native Arts Circle, Intermedia Arts, The Immigrant and Refugee Battered Women’s Task Force to name a few.
We begin our season with a classic called The Chairs. A tragic farce by Ionesco, the play is relevant to the time and place we live in even though this was written more than 50 years ago. Our Migrants explores the face of Lake Street and the hot button topics of immigration set against the demographic shift in our current election season. We are thrilled to present Keo Woolford in I Land, who has a powerful story to tell from his own life against the backdrop of his passion for hula as this year’s Indigenous Voices Series. We continue the development of this regions Native playwrights Heid Erdrich and Rhiana Yazzie this season. In Spring, we are proud to present Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with a high octane performance by L.A. based performance artist Kristina Wong. We are reviving Conference of the Birds, our first play, as we celebrate the completion of more than a decade of work in the Twin Cities.
Our Artistic Director, Dipankar Mukherjee, is in his final year of the Bush Leadership Fellowship and has been traveling to India, South Africa and Europe this year looking at processes of peace and social justice within communities and, as he brings that experience back to our theater, we are creating our Diverse Stages Theater program for youth which will culminate in a performance at Pangea World Theater this December.
We invite you to be part of our circle of conscience as we search for and craft a new aesthetic for our community! We promise to bring you a year of daring, innovative, relevant theater.
In peace
Pangea World Theater
