About Us

Multidisciplinary Performance - Practice - Research

Vertebra Theatre is an award-winning, multicultural, diverse and queer led company creating bold, visually striking and socially resonant work at the intersection of Dance, Theatre, Opera, and Performance Art. Founded on a commitment to experimentation and collaboration, the company fuses physical theatre, puppetry, music, and expanded scenography to reimagine myth and contemporary narratives for today’s audiences.

 

Over the years, Vertebra has established a distinctive international presence with productions such as Electra Untitled, developed through residencies and touring in London, Buenos Aires, Lahore, Amman, Barcelona and more. Our collaborations, artistic and research residencies include prominent artists such as David Glass (2020), Zero Theatre and Theodoros Terzopoulos/ Theatre Attis (2022) and partnerships with prestigious theatre venues, major universities and conservatoires such as Castillo Theatre (USA), The British Arts Centre (Argentina), Alhamra Cultural Centre (Pakistan), Arcola Theatre (UK), Guildhall School of Music and Drama, University of Essex and University of Punjab.

 

Earlier productions like Dark Matter and An Ice Thing to Say have been presented in leading London, UK and European venues including PQ 2023, Little Angel Theatre, Tristan Bates, Nottingham Playhouse and Edinburg Fringe Festival while The Medusa Opera marked a pioneering collaboration between composers, opera singers, and visual artists to expand the boundaries of operatic performance.

 

With an ensemble of internationally acclaimed artists, Vertebra collaborates across disciplines and cultures, building bridges between traditions while challenging conventional forms. At the heart of Vertebra’s artistic vision is a pursuit of radical empathy, daring aesthetics, and theatre that resonates both viscerally and intellectually.
