Pan Pan was founded in 1993 in Dublin. The company has toured its work to the most prestigious festivals and venues worldwide, including BAM, the Lincoln Centre, the Kennedy Center, the Barbican, Hau Berlin, NCPA Beijing, Sydney and Melbourne Festivals, and received multiple national and international awards, including the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh International Festival.

Since its inception, Pan Pan has constantly examined and challenged the nature of its work and has resisted settling into well-tried formulas. Developing new performance ideas is at the centre of the company’s mission. All the works created are original, either through the writing (original plays) or through the totally unique expression of established writings. Pan Pan tries to approach theatre as an open form of expression and has developed an individual aesthetic that has grown from making performances in a host of different situations and conditions.

Pan Pan is committed to nurturing the next generation of theatre performance artists, sharing the knowledge and experience gained over 30 years of work. This work is carried out through our annual International Mentorship Programme, Associate Artists Programme, International Residencies and our Space and Support Programme – an informal mentoring and space sharing initiative by the core team.

“More than any other theatre troupe I can think of, Pan Pan finds the soul-muddling angst in the Internet age, when computers with cameras and microphones instantly serve up private lives for public consumption.”
