FROM THE MOMENT WE'RE BORN, WE GROW, WE CHANGE. NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME.
As an empty room fills with memories, a group of extraordinary performers create a portrait of a lifetime over the course of a show.
With playful energy, wry humour and brutal honesty that come only from children, On Ageing builds a landscape of words and images, to explore living as a journey of endless change.
Performed by children for an audience of adults, On Ageing is the latest in a series of acclaimed performances by Fevered Sleep that unravel and reimagine the fabric of everyday life.
Fevered Sleep has an international reputation for devising bold and experimental work that is both playful and profound. Recent projects include commissions from Brighton Festival, Sadler’s Wells and National Theatre Wales.
