Mitu

Driven by a commitment to innovation, Theater Mitu expands the definition of theater through methodical experimentation with the form. Founded in 1997, we are an artist-led organization that frames art-making as a mode of research and inquiry. We share knowledge, spark dialogue, and strengthen our community through cultivating radical ways of reimagining our world. Mitu embodies this by way of our productions and exhibitions, trans-global research initiatives, artist support opportunities, education programs galvanizing the next generation of artists, and the curated programming of MITU580, our venue in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
