Playground In Emergency

Playground In Emergency is a theatrical performance performed at KED.

Synopsis:
Evicted from their home, an elderly couple gambles with what’s left of their lives as they transgress social norms.
Through a creative attempt to reshape time and space between the mind and the collective, this physical and audiovisual performance explores the state of emergency as a naturalized ubiquitous happening. We are privy to an inquiry into a society’s acquiescence to constant conflict and instability; a phenomenon that has driven many to become selectively empathetic in the narrowest sense.

Choosing between what to care for and what to act upon has become a daunting task. What will it take for us to blur the lines that separate global crises from those of the everyday variety?
