Mad House promotes and produces live art and other experimental performing arts. Mad House focuses on content, it is a work in progress, a process which learns by experience. The Mad House team consists of a bunch of artists and art producers. At Mad House, art and community comes first. Mad House has produced five performance seasons between 2014 and 2018 in Suvilahti, Helsinki, and from 2019 Mad House is developing ongoing, year around programming, in the Teurastamo area, Helsinki.

Mad House’s programme consists of experimental art, performances, exhibitions, stand-up and contemporary dance, and workshops. The Mad House programme is put together by assigned curators. The productions on the programme are either invited or chosen through an open call, which is announced in due course.

In addition to its season programme, Mad House produces the BAD HOUSE live art festival, which focuses on international artists. BAD HOUSE, organized for the first time in the spring of 2021, aims to promote imperfection, discrepancies, forbearance, and the freedom of art among the art festivals of Helsinki. Beginning in August, 2020, Mad House has been publishing its own digital publication, the Mad House Publication.
