Voleur du Feu Theatre was founded in 2013 by Artistic Director Tung-Ning Hsieh. The name of the company was inspired by the Greek myth, in which Prometheus stole fire from Zeus to benefit human beings, aiming to bring the warmth through theatre works into the public. It predominantly focuses on producing new creations with ethnic Chinese perspectives in interdisciplinary art forms, aiming to respond to territory, emotion, identity and social reality. The artistic approach of the company has attempted to integrate to the trend of world theatre, presenting the company rooted in locality yet shaped by global vision.
