Theatre of Witness

Theatre of Witness is a form of performance, developed by founder and artistic director Teya Sepinuck that gives voice to those who have been marginalised, forgotten or are invisible in society. Their true, life stories, performed by the people themselves, are shared onstage so that audiences can collectively bear witness to issues of suffering, redemption and social justice. Theatre of Witness productions, performed in spoken word, music, movement and film projection, put a face and heart to societal issues of suffering, and celebrate the power of the human spirit to grow and transform.

Teya Sepinuck has been creating Theatre of Witness productions in the United States and Poland since 1986. Performers have included: refugees, immigrants, survivors and perpetrators of domestic abuse, teenage runaways, prisoners and their families, people living in poverty or without homes, families of murder victims, as well as women in transition, teen parents and people in recovery.
Teya has been working at The Playhouse since 2009 with people affected by The Troubles in Northern Ireland / Border Counties.
