Description

Come see "Other Worlds" by Stephen Patrick Booth at Maison Théâtre.

On a small island overrun by land developers, two radically different strangers’ lives collide after an unexpected ecological disaster. Seeking safety in a bunker, they clash and connect over their shared dislike of the developers, and their conflicting dreams of a utopia where they can do more than just survive. Other Worlds celebrates their unique journeys to claim and strengthen their own self-identity, while working to make deeper connections with the outside world. A play about well-being, friendship and belonging, and the importance of community.

Informations

Artistic and cultural mediation: two post-show workshops (60 min. each) will be offered to each participating class. These dynamic theatre workshops will use theatre and creativity to explore themes of well-being, being your authentic self, and the importance of belonging. Workshops will take place in the classroom and will be scheduled individually by each school, once students have seen the mainstage show.
