Henrik Cheng is a theatre artist whose practice spans performance, technical design, and dramaturgy. Originally from New York City and now based in Singapore, their career began in stage and production management before expanding into directing, devising, and performance—including a production at the New Orleans Fringe (2013), two site-specific works in New Orleans (2014), and La MaMa Umbria’s Director’s Symposium (2012).

Singapore credits include Pretty Butch (M1 Fringe, 2017), Attempts: SG (M1 Fringe, 2018), The Silence Bubble (SRT, 2018–2019), and part\wh (The Substation, 2021). They are a returning Technical Design Consultant for Centre 42’s The Vault residency (2019–present) and directed the Stranger Things immersive experience for Netflix/Mighty Jaxx (2023).

Since 2024, Henrik has been training intensively in the Grotowski lineage with Thomas Richards and Theatre No Theatre, attending workshops across Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Pontedera, Shanghai, and Milan— and is currently preparing an application to the Wuzhen Actor Craft & Creation Program. They are also an active member of the Singapore Butoh Collective (2023–present).

Henrik is currently developing an autobiographical solo performance examining cultural identity and belonging. They are drawn to projects where the work itself—its making and its meeting with audiences—can be a site of change.
