Based in London since 2001, and in Rio de Janeiro since 2004, ZECORA URA Theatre is constantly re-defining its approach to cross-artform innovation and multi-cultural dialogue with its network of 'glocal' collaborators. ZECORA URA's work is often said to provoke encounters which are set out to de-construct rigid views of theatre-making and re-invent theatre practice as a challenging and inclusive bridge between personal identity and current politics of technology and communication.

ZECORA URA builds on its international recognition by working on long-term relationships with local communities, artists and partners worldwide. This has included working with festivals, curators, policy makers, funders and venues, as well as mentoring young emerging artists.
