Welcome to Dende Collective.

Founded in 1999, London-based theatre company Dende Collective has infused much of its work with a vibrant Brazilian influence. Much like dishes prepared with Dende oil, our productions are a savoury feast, blending a diverse array of styles and visual elements to create an international atmosphere.
