Through collaboration, incubation an education, Owl-Light creates theater that reflects the diverse an complex world we live in today, therefore we actively seek diverse backgrounds, ideas and points of views from our collaborators. 

Why "Owl-Light"?  

Owl-Light refers to that which lights the night sky: the moon and stars.  Owl-Light is a time and place which leads our minds to face our innermost questions, emboldens us to step into our deepest fears and perhaps, lights our way to the dawn.

The term "Owl-Light" is borrowed from the 1937, Dylan Thomas Poem, "Alterwise by Owl-Light".   This surreal work, is a compilation of sonnets leading the reader through a cryptic journey of alchemy, sexuality, nature and spirituality.  Thomas celebrates the connectivity of all things and all human struggles both painful and pleasurable alike. He sets out to discover what the meaning of shape is and perhaps determines ultimately, that everything is one, and life is but a repeating circle of moments; rich, fleeting, and visceral.
