Who We Are

Seraphim is the founder and creative director of Cirque Divine.

Seraphim Penumbra has been a Promoter, Producer, Curator, Event Specialist, and Performer as an openly intersex and trans person for over 3 decades.

“As long as I can remember I have been drawn to cafe culture, which led to the creation of an artist-serving coffee house performance series that enjoyed a massive success in the 90s, because we were able to provide an environment where people felt safe and empowered to meet and exchange their ideas and art.

When I was in NYC working with a collective of artists I wondered if we were doing enough, and I decided that as long as we created a safe space where we can connect and express, and create, and exchange ideas, that’s a win.”
