Surrogate was founded in 2019. We are a touring theatre company, based in Edinburgh. We share international voices asking urgent questions about our lives, and our society, now. We collaborate with multi-disciplinary artists and creatives from different social, cultural, geographical, and spiritual horizons to collectively search for new dramatic forms. We are committed to responding to the climate and ecological emergency, believing in the transformative capacity of the imagination to reinvent alternative future(s) and we seek to support emerging artists who are under-represented in the theatre sector via our ‘search for surrogate(s)’ initiative. Our practice addresses the relationship between contemporary power structures, forms of truth-telling and the body.
