Our Story

The most important work being made in the world right now is being made in places the producing industry has not yet turned to look.

GMF turns to look. Then we build the stage.

The obstacle is not merit.

It is infrastructure.

GMF provides the infrastructure.

The empty house of the Foundation’s theatre: raked seating in dark wood rising toward a shallow balcony, warm light washing the side walls, the room waiting.

Why we exist

Global Mosaic Foundation is an international theatrical production institution. It exists because the producing industry’s field of vision is too narrow. Work of extraordinary merit is being made outside the major capitals, outside the established networks, outside the funding structures that determine what reaches the stage. GMF is the institution that finds theatre of that calibre, funds it, and produces it at the level it deserves.

Working internationally, across five continents.

What we provideFive fixed capacities

  • Judgment

    Discovery, selection, dramaturgy and development. We decide what deserves the whole apparatus.

  • Producing

    Finance, rights, contracting and casting. The conditions a work needs, assembled around it.

  • Making

    Direction, design, rehearsal and technical realisation. The work made at its full intended scale.

  • Reach

    Venues, touring, transfers and partnerships. The distance a work is carried without being diluted.

  • Memory

    Publishing, documentation, archive and canon. What remains once the room goes dark.

We do not produce theatre to show the world what it looks like. The world has enough mirrors.

Two routes

Fragments of Brilliance

A producing partnership for work of exceptional merit that cannot secure funding or infrastructure through any other route.

The programme

Aesthetic of Awe

Our Main Stage season. Four works held within one curatorial proposition — what GMF makes when it has full control of the production.

The season

GMF provides the machine. The artist provides the work.
