Mission Statement: Leaky Heaven seeks to create and disseminate works that explore the complex relationships between perception and performance, observation and participation.

We seek to create interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and non-artists with a focus on a “dramaturgy of the real” oscillating between the historical artifice of theatre and representation and the rupture of the artifice through installation, intervention, site-specificity, documentary and live technologies.
