(dis)Order

Mirum Mirum Productions is a Seattle-based theatre company founded by nine graduates of Western Washington University. We are committed to producing new works primarily through Devised Theatre -- a technique used to create original work through collaboration between a team of artists.

Our first piece, (dis)Order, began with a 'hunch' to explore Mental Disorders. From that hunch we spent months investigating and educating ourselves not just on the topic of mental disorders, but on the people behind the illness. We read Oliver Sacks' book 'An Anthropologist on Mars' in an attempt to move past the stigma mental disorders have in our society and find stories of humanity in the face of chaos. Throughout the show we intend to investigate individuals with mood disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and neuro-psychiatric disorders. What makes these characters fascinating isn't what 'holds them back', but what they are capable of giving. They are different, but not less.

(dis)Order is primarily about what it means to be human, and the incredible ingenuity of the human mind and heart. We want to bridge the gap between the sciences and humanity through performance, and would like to invite you along on the journey.
