RECLAIMING OUR HUMANITY
RECLAIMING OUR HUMANITY
A Landmark New Play by Kate Stanley Brennan
Framed within a science-fiction paradigm in a world and time very close to our own, Standby charts the breakdown of society over seven days via athletic spoken word, street-culture-inspired choreography and rich sonic and visual design.
In a moving, funny and timely piece that meets this moment the world is in, Standby offers a provocation to reclaim agency over our own creativity and humanity.
Playing as part of POPXX - THISISPOPBABY’s Twenty Year Anniversary Programme 2027-2028.
