The Company
THEATRE HUMAIN seeks to explore what it means to be human. Through our work in the theatre, we wish to stimulate a meaningful dialogue about the human condition: our strengths and weaknesses, our failures and successes, our deep-rooted tendency to destroy and our infinite capacity to create.
