About BIRTH:
Following a sell-out run at the 2019 London International Mime Festival, Theatre Re presents a powerful, poignant and uplifting visual theatre piece with live music exploring the bond between three generations of women, their shared loss, and the strength they discover in each other.
Emily is eight months pregnant when she reads her grandmother's journal. As she delves into her family history her sense of reality shifts, unveiling a legacy of unspoken tragedies and unconditional love. Presented in association with Glynis Henderson Productions
Funded by National Lottery through Arts Council England Co-commissioned by the London International Mime Festival, The Point Eastleigh, and South Hill Park Arts Centre Supported by Shoreditch Town Hall, University of Kent and The Lowry.
- About Theatre Re:
Established in 2009, Theatre Re is an internationally acclaimed ensemble creating thought-provoking live performances. The name comes from the prefix ‘re’. It is the ‘re’ of re-discovering and re-imagining, breathing new life into what already exists.
The company examines fragile human conditions in a compelling, physical style embracing mime, theatre and live music. Intimate collaborations with experts in different fields - such as science and public health - and various community groups throughout the devising process play a crucial part in the development of the work. Previous productions have toured widely in the UK but also in France, Brazil, Peru, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, China, Taiwan, South Korea and the US.
Theatre Re is an @HOME company at The Point, Eastleigh.
