Past Life. A multi-sensory exploration that follows Kiera as she revisits her Past Life, a life she felt ready to feel again, a life she thought she missed. But can you re open a wound without hurting yourself again?
We follow her (and Betty the brain) as they navigate their way through a storm of boxing rings, sleepless nights, gym glasses paint throwing and coming to terms with loss. A genre bending show that intertwines a dynamic sound score, audio descriptive language, creative captioning’s and projected animation to aid an energetic, fast paced and harrowing telling of what trauma looks like in the 21st century. This story is for everybody, made to feel like just another body.
For you.
For me.
For us all.

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
