Theatrum Mundi

Theatrum Mundi is a centre for research and experimentation in the public culture of cities; based in London and Paris our work spans the UK, Europe and the Mediterranean. Our core mission is to expand the crafts of city-making through the arts – storytelling, performance, sound/music – and to diversify who has a voice in these processes. Our work brings together people with a range of backgrounds and perspectives on cities and culture: artists, activists, architects, urbanists, students, scholars, and community leaders as well as the broader public.
