Panta Rei Theatre was founded in 2009 as a collective of international artists aka The Pantas: Chiara D'Anna, Almudena Segura, Juancho Gonzalez, Stephanie Lewis, Tommy Scott-Williamson, Anna Zehentbauer, Alexander Roberts, Kari Vidasson and Jessica Tyler.
Pantas' collaborators include: actor and circus artist Daniel Rejano, performers Roberta Edwards and Jacob Yeo, scenographer Jermer Tuinstra, composer Steve Harry Mason, lighting designer Cis O’Boyle, sound designer Thomas Butler, costume designer Nadia Malik; and filmmakers & photographers Lubos Horvat, Scott Robinson, Andrew Phillips, Fany de la Chica, Zsolt Sandor, Harald Haugen, and Riccardo Sai.
Our collaborations vary from project to project. We love to collaborate with practitioners coming from different backgrounds and areas of expertise. We worked with historians, psychologists, psychiatrists, musicians, visual artists, circus artists, DJs, cabaret performers, filmmakers and opera singers. And we love to experiment with different languages and sonorities.
