Pangea World Theater

Pangea World Theater illuminates the human condition, celebrates cultural differences, and promotes human rights by creating and presenting international, multi-disciplinary theater. Pangea World Theater begins from the fundamental paradigm of diversity in the world. Its work expresses this reality and its organization advances this possibility consciously.

Since its inception in 1995, Pangea’s goals have included creating a new literature with stories from different communities for theater, changing its methods of auditioning in order to include artists from diverse communities who are not trained in the traditional western methods of the audition process, and creating new possibilities and new aesthetic realities for a more diverse audience. As the community of the Twin Cities has become increasingly diverse with the influx of new immigrants, Pangea has actively sought individuals from these communities to be part of our artistic and advisory team.

Pangea World Theater is a progressive space for transformation in which conversations about race, gender, ethnicity, human rights, politics and social justice form an important backbone for its work. We collaborate with award winning international artists and companies to create plays and performances that speak across geography and culture. Pangea ensemble experiments with form and content to create new processes for a new aesthetic
