The edgy experiment in ageing - as you watch!
Subversive, edgy and unsettling, this all-children production by Gob Squad sees seven lives age rapidly before your eyes. Separated from the cast by the use of one-way mirrors, we as the audience are desperate to try and preserve our own youth; not so, the youngsters make it their mission to age from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics within an hour, and nostalgically look upon their recent pasts, as they leave childhood forever.
For the first time in their 17-year old history, the UK and German arts troupe do not appear as part of the production; instead the children have been selected from performing arts schools around the New York state area.
The true epitome of modern theatre, Gob Squad place their performances at the heart of everyday urban life, often taking place in As well as theatres and galleries, we place our work at the heart of urban life - in houses, shops, subway stations, or the streets. This new production, like their others, ask you as an audience member to step beyond your comfort zone as a passive spectator.
