THE COLLECTIVE
About Us
Petrichor Collective is an international artistic ensemble founded in 2023, dedicated to the creation, production, and dissemination of performing arts. The collective seeks to merge performative movement arts—particularly circus, physical theatre, acrobatic dance, and puppeteering—into a unique and evolving artistic language.
Through this interdisciplinary approach, the Petrichor Collective explores new forms of expression and continually shapes its own distinct performance style. As a collaborative group, we develop a range of artistic projects—performances and workshops—sharing our work and expertise across Europe.
With artists from all over the world, we see art as a universal language—one with the power to connect, inspire, and transcend borders; a language that speaks beyond words and builds bridges between people, places, and perspectives.
