WHAT WE DO

Gomito is a collaboration of artists making new visual theatre. The company is an ever-changing family of performers, designers, directors, musicians and writers who want to share stories in a certain way; with creativity, entertainment, humour, emotion, liveness and homespun roughness; with theatricality at its simplest.

Gomito makes theatre for everyone who enjoys a good story told with all of the above. Sometimes we investigate a subject which might be best suited to adults, sometimes we try to make things with children at the front of our minds, but often we combine both. Our dream is to make theatre which is understood on the same level by young and old, which doesn’t appeal to exclusively to intellect or a certain aged brain, but which binds an audience together and reminds us of what we share as humans.

Gomito was formed in 2001 in Cambridge which we will always think of as our home. Since then Gomito shows have toured across the UK earning the company an excellent reputation as makers of creative, surprising, universal theatre. From 2009 to 2011 Gomito were Associate Artists of The Junction in Cambridge and in 2011 the company became the first ever Associate Artists of Greenwich Theatre. When we’re not on tour or collaborating, we’re based in Cambridgeshire.
