Are the actions of humans reversible? It's a big question, and it's being tackled by theatrical innovators Ontroerend Goed at the Southbank Centre next month. Their latest show, Are we not drawn onward to new erA, examines a crucial moment in our future history, as humans move towards either downfall or salvation. Are we too late to avert the environmental apocalypse that we have created? The production debuts at the Southbank Centre following a world tour and hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it received ★★★★★ ratings from Time Out and British Theatre, with The Guardian and The Telegraph each giving it ★★★★. Not familiar with Ontroerend Goed? The pioneering Belgian theatre company is notorious for creating shows which are not easily forgotten. Previously, it's placed the audience in the seat of the 1% (£¥€$), asked theatregoers to vote for actors (Fight Night) and even blindfolded audiences and strapped them into wheelchairs for a very memorable journey (The Smile Off Your Face). Suffice to say, we expect this to be an unforgettable event. Are we not drawn onward to new erA is at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 July. Tickets from £18. |
