The company was formed in 2001, Artistic Direct Amit says "We were fuelled by a shared response to theatre that for years, had left us feeling dulled and uninspired. Unlike so much of the theatre we were used to experiencing, we wanted our work to serve as a launch pad for our audiences imaginations, to awaken their senses and to fill them with energy and vitality."

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“We never can tell how our lives may work to the account of the general good, and we are not wise enough to know if we have fulfilled our mission or not.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
