BROKEN
DOLLS

As a collective of disabled, neurodivergent, QUEER, and diverse performers, we proudly embrace the label "broken".

WHY BROKEN
DOLLS?

The world has plenty of “perfect” dolls.
We’re here for the chipped ones, the cracked ones, the ones with stories etched into their surfaces.

Because when you bring us together, something extraordinary happens: a new kind of circus that celebrates every identity, defies every expectation, and dares audiences to see beauty in the different.

Through our performances and educational initiatives, we show that the dolls that don't fit the mould can be just as fun to play with — perhaps even more so, as they can often tell richer, more intriguing stories.
