A violent revolution...
A split-second choice...
Servant girl Grusha rescues an abandoned baby; when his mother returns to claim him, she finds herself placed on trial.
Brecht’s timeless morality fable is given a startling reimagining, as a war-ravaged community locks horns over the true nature of ‘justice’.

This Life is Wild
When: Thursday, 28 May - Saturday, 30 May
Where: PAUL McCARTNEY AUDITORIUM, LIPA
Rooted in the natural world, This Life is Wild explores the beauty and brutality of being human.
Set in a distorted garden of blooms and tangled, untamed brambles, the work moves through self-discovery, growth and renewal - where tenderness and resistance exist side by side.
A devised dance piece that reflects the cycle of life: what we nurture, what wounds us, and what survives.
Performed by Second year Dance students
