Social Beast

Humans are herd animals.


But in the era of avatars, AI, remote working, scrolling and trolling do we still know how to meet IRL? Do we still know how to look at each other? Share space? Share breath? Move in a pack?


A dance theatre encounter with radical connection. As the spectre of late capitalism looms large an ensemble of performers dance like their lives depend on it. A Marxist Dionysian ritual.


Each night performers improvise a new show. Join them at the edge, where anything, even revolution, is possible.


Directed by award winning theatre maker Lily Fish (PO PO MO CO, Stickybeak).

Liv Bell, Michelle Mayumi Chinen, Sophia Derkenne, Mich McCowage, Jet Min, Nicola Pohl
