If We Go On

Directed and Designed by Charlotte Vincent
Text by Wendy Houstoun
Composed by Alex Catona

Through miniature dances and stuttering songs, militant manifestos and extended exits, an exceptional ensemble of multitasking performers and musicians embrace uncertainty, hesitancy and not knowing with a dark, intelligent humour.

An exceptional ensemble of multi-tasking performers and musicians morph words into movement, shunt gesture into sound and at times burst into song to create a performance they can believe in.

In a relentless succession of splintered transactions, where words lose their strength, music strains to be heard and movement meanders into exhaustion and incoherence, If We Go On asks: If you had one last dance in you, what shape would it take?

"This is serious theatre which provides a sharp and poignant antidote to much of today's mindless showbiz top-flash" The Stage

"At its best, If We Go On reaches beyond the stage towards imitations about life" The Guardian
