    Ever wondered how many kilograms 'pulling your weight' entails? Or how light that feather actually is?

    Well, step into The Weight of Being, an interactive show measuring all aspects of being human, from experiences and emotions to the surrounding social obsession with body image and dieting, aiming to answer the question: How much does the perfect life weigh?

    This performance takes place in CPT's basement space which has step-free access via lift.

    "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."
