Subscura is an inter-arts performance collective founded in 2014 on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, (also known as Vancouver, British Columbia) who have presented their work extensively both locally and internationally. Their performances are engaging, thought-provoking and mesmerizing; captivating and inspiring audiences from around the world. Subscura’s diverse experience in movement and performance include contemporary and experimental dance, aerial arts, improvisation, clowning, theater and circus. Subscura performs for connection, expression, and profound shared moments; bidding for wider perspectives, deeper connections, and new realities. From stages to fields, shadows to sunshine, they look forward to meeting new eyes and old friends once again.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
