PLAY
Directed by Charlotte Vincent | Composer Jules Maxwell | Artistic Associate Robert Clark
Commissioned by Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival
Vincent Dance Theatre is renowned for making highly crafted, socially engaged performance work, on stage and on film.
To celebrate our 30th Anniversary (1994-2024), VDT presents a brand new live production PLAY at Brighton Dome Corn Exchange, made and performed by four local young people and brilliant Polish collaborator Aurora Lubos.
Tracing an unreliable timeline through past works, PLAY reflects on the emotional upheaval of the last few years and celebrates young people’s incredible resilience and imagination in the face of huge personal and societal change.
For audiences aged 12+
