DEFINITION OF OUR LOGO

Written in cuneiform, an ancient Sumerian form of writing, the Theater Mitu logo graphically represents our attempt to find a common ground between the human, the Divine, and the truths that have been forgotten.

The two triangles at right angles in the upper left of the logo represent forgotten truths, or lost knowledge: the positioning of the triangles suggests a balance between the axis of heaven and the axis of earth.

The downward pointing triangle over the "t" represents the Divine: that downward moving and enlivening spiritual energy symbolized by the horizontal arm of the archetypal axis mundi (the mythical axis of the world around which the entire universe revolves and which reaches from heaven to earth).

The two triangles in the logo, one behind the other, represent humanity: the repetition of the triangular figure suggests community and references the vertical arm of the axis mundi. This functions as a symbol for the world of men.

That the figures representing truth and lost knowledge are depicted as connected to the figures representing the human community speaks to the relationship between humanity and its stories and myths: that through these cultural treasures, mankind can attempt to touch the divine which, while represented here as a distant presence, nonetheless crowns the whole logo. This endless striving for connection is represented by the "t" of Theater Mitu, which attempts to bridge the gaps between all of the elements in the image, striving for a more perfect reconciliation of these potent and essential energies.
