Redmoon was founded in 1990 to promote a unique brand of performance committed to the highest quality artistic product and to civic well-being. Pulling with conviction from contemporary art forms and ancient theatrical forms, Redmoon has created a performance style that is equal parts pageantry, gadgetry, acrobatics, and ephemera. Over the past decade Redmoon has garnered international attention for our theatrical productions like Hunchback and our site specific performances, which have been seen everywhere in Chicago from the Jackson Park Lagoon to the façade of Museum of Contemporary Art. Over recent years, Redmoon has expanding projects in Holland, Ireland, France, and Australia. Redmoon is committed to creating unexpected theater in unexpected locations.Redmoon’s intensive Build Shop Internship program provides training in spectacle art techniques.
