Danse Theatre Surreality (DTS) – a women- and queer-run company – makes it a priority to tell stories that promote gender equity, created in collaboration with performers who move through the world in bodies from different racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, and those who love them. From a bi-national stage between NYC and Paris, DTS builds intersectional, interdisciplinary, innovative performances and provides programming with social and political initiatives. More equal, more just, and more open. https://dansetheatresurreality.org/
