SO, WHO ARE WE?
Founded by Reggie Yip in 2024, JUNO THEATRE is a contemporary theatre company dedicated to experimenting and innovating with the theatrical form through the intersection of physical theatre, performance art and interdisciplinary experimentation. With inherent cross-cultural grounding and creative influence inspired by surrealism and magic realism, we seek to push the boundaries of original storytelling and imaginative representation.
We believe in the power our craft possesses in igniting connections across borders and empowering creativity through collaboration and community engagement.
