Art by Astrid Grim.
We have a saying: “In circus, nothing is impossible.”
Not only is circus about making the unimaginable a reality, but doing so with and for our communities.
Simply by performing and sharing this art, it becomes an extraordinary force of inspiration, joy and hope. We know this from the sheer number of times people have reached out to us online.
And that’s to speak nothing of how circus is a medium by which people overcome mental illnesses and their darkest times.
As of writing this (winter of 2024) Grim Theatre has no tangible location. It exists in our minds and on borrowed stages.
We’ve put on dozens of performances and debuted in many productions, but we don’t have a studio or a traveling tent to call our own.
But we hope to one day make that a reality.
Through projects like The Black Carnival, our online content, and our own entrepreneurial efforts, we hope to one day drag Grim Theatre from the realm of dreams into that of the living.
And like everything in life and circus, it’s easier done together.
If you’d like to become a patron, you’ll unlock exclusive videos, writings, monthly hand-mailed art depending on your tier, and more.
If less than 1% of the people who enjoy our work across all platforms pledged a subscription of just $3, we could make Grim Theatre a reality, and thereby extend opportunities to other misfit artists.
