Per Aspera Productions

PER ASPERA PRODUCTIONS is the birthplace of a diverse range of theater and performance projects with an addiction to reaching through, an interest in the exploration of new forms, and a blatant disregard for the ordinary.

The company's works have been celebrated with prizes, been invited to international festivals, and awarded major grants.

The company works with a rotating ensemble of international artists in worldwide locations on a project-to-project basis. For more information on where and with whom Per Aspera Productions works:
