Artistic Director • Playwright • Producer
I’m Michael Omoke, Artistic Director of ACT: New Nordic Voices. My work spans theatre, cultural diplomacy, and multisensory installation—placing lived experience, memory, and atmosphere at the center of how stories are encountered.
THE DREAMERS — From Lamu to Milan
Multisensory installation in seven chambers
Artistic leadership, dramaturgy, and producing—built through long-form international work.
I am the Artistic Director of ACT: New Nordic Voices—a company committed to expanding who is seen on Nordic stages, without excluding anyone.
My practice moves between theatre, installation, and cultural diplomacy—often working across institutions, embassies, museums, and civic partners.
“Here, literature is not only represented; it is spatialised and encountered—through scenography, sound, scent, light, materials, and atmosphere.”
Current and developing works across Denmark, Kenya, and the United States.
A transposition of Karen Blixen’s “The Dreamers” into spatial form: a performance arts installation in seven chambers, where the audience moves through an operatic labyrinth shaped by sound, scent, light, and architectural thresholds.
A suite of productions dedicated to girls worldwide—addressing abduction, FGM, and exploitation—combining performance, workshops, and public dialogue with partner organisations.
A reimagining of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler through the ethical shadows of MKUltra—power, secrecy, complicity, and moral collapse at the edge of exposure.
Research-driven reinterpretations that connect Nordic canon to contemporary global realities—through new dramaturgies, new casts, and new frames of encounter.
A compact record of productions and leadership work.
Essays, concept notes, and long-form artistic research.
A memoir-poem through fragrance, architecture, and memory—written as a sensorial descent through broken mirrors of belonging and becoming.
