MOHIT MATHUR

BIOGRAPHY

Mohit Mathur is an actor, dancer, and theatre maker from Delhi, India, now based in London. He obtained his Masters in Acting from the Drama Centre London and has since built an international career spanning theatre, film, and dance.

He made his West End debut in 2015 as the lead in Beyond Bollywood at the London Palladium, later touring across multiple continents. In 2022, he returned to the West End in Max Webster’s Life of Pi at Wyndham’s Theatre before embarking on its international tour in 2024.

Mohit has performed in accessible Shakespeare productions designed for autistic audiences when extensively working with Flute Theatre. His work with the company has taken him across Romania, Serbia, and leading theatre festivals, where he starred in Pericles and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, both for people on the autism spectrum and diverse audiences.

In 2023, Mohit was part of the revival of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes in a UK tour with Waterperry Opera. His passion for storytelling extends to opera, where he served as a consultant, dance captain, and performer in the Welsh National Opera’s Migrations—a powerful production exploring themes of migration and belonging.

Beyond theatre, Mohit has worked extensively in screen and choreography. He was a choreographer for dance reality TV shows in India and has choreographed for multiple productions. His love for movement and exploring storytelling through dance and physicality remains central to his creative practice. He has starred in multiple short films in the UK, including London, Punjab, which was screened at Cannes in 2024. His work can also be seen in Netflix’s Bhangra Paa Le.

As a theatre maker, Mohit is committed to examining the impact of colonial histories on contemporary identities. He is currently developing and planning a UK tour of Dial 1 for UK in Autumn 2025, a show he is producing himself, which was originally written as part of Vital Xposure’s writing cohort. Additionally, he is collaborating with Tara Theatre on Azaad, an ACE-funded project that navigates the revolutionary story of Udham Singh alongside his personal journey moving to the UK. In 2019, Mohit created Zindagi – Tales of Bollywood, a commercial Bollywood dance show.
