Neo mythical

Immerse yourself in the world’s first Neo Mythical Dance Theatre Company - where old myths are transformed or restored, and new stories arise from the mind of Artistic Leader Gil ‘the Grid’ Gomes Leal.

Amenti Theatre Company (ATC) envisions worlds where the audience is taken on a trip through time and space. With dance as their main medium of expression - and often combined with live music, acting, puppetry, and imaginative decors - ATC uses their Urban background and decolonial thinking at the core of every performance.

ATC produces theatre productions and other performances, like its well-known improvisation concept, the Elemental Exchange. Its array of dancers from all backgrounds, each with their individual language in dance, ensures that each encounter with them is one to remember and cherish.

With a strive for radical change through art and a bold, young approach to the arts, theatre, and knowledge, Amenti Theatre Company is a company like no other - never scared to call out the truth and imagine a transformed future. A vehicle of dreams, a catalyst of change.

Gil The Grid

Gil the Grid is both the Artistic Leader and founder of Amenti Theatre Company and the main maker/choreographer of our pieces and productions. Gil possesses the ability to not only bring people together to create a cohesive community but also the ability to translate stories into mind-altering performances.

Growing up in Spangen, Rotterdam, and later on in life traveling the world with his performances he has seen the wide range of people and places our world knows. Seeing how the world is divided and how we need a clearer vision and truthful representations of what is going on in our world is a driving force behind Gil’s work. It is both political and esthetically beautiful, it always has a message packed within his own created terminology of neo-mythical concepts.

Gil worked with numerous artists like singer Sevdaliza (movement director, choreographer, and - coach) and CloZee besides making and directing his own productions.
