Motus Theater

Motus Theater’s home office in Colorado is located on land that, by U.S. treaty, belongs to Indigenous peoples, and is the ancestral home of the Arapaho, Ute, Cheyenne and other nations. These nations experience ongoing colonization and displacement– where land acknowledgements are offered in place of the land itself. As part of meaningful amends, Motus Theater developed a multimedia history performance on colonial settler history in Colorado called Rocks Karma Arrows; centers the voices of indigenous leaders; and gives 10% of what we pay in theater rental costs to the Native American Rights Fund. Motus’ theatrical programming is developed in the United States, a country whose financial wealth was built on stolen land from the stolen labor of formerly enslaved Black people, as well as Indigenous, and other racialized people.
