STRUCTURE exists as a metaphorical magnifying glass. The show highlights ​the ways in which external structures control our lives in the era of late-​stage Capitalism. What causes us to follow the norm and what happens ​when we deviate from this? STRUCTURE encourages the audience to gaze ​inwards, examining the harsh rigidity of impersonal structures and the ​gentleness of interpersonal connections.

Exploring themes of social interconnectivity, mental health, the loneliness ​epidemic, grief, loss, hope and joy, this show will transport you through a ​meditative, melancholic yet hopeful reflection on what it means to exist in ​2023.
