A crack runs through the stage. Did it just suddenly appear? Or has it always been there? Is it getting bigger? How deep is it, and can we overcome it? One thing is for certain: it’s here now, and it challenges us to deal with the new circumstances. While some mourn the time before the crack emerged, others are already eagerly embracing the opportunities it offers. And what if other things in the space change while we are still getting used to what’s new?

Director Josie Dale-Jones is developing this play together with the ensemble. With lots of movement, they will jointly explore the themes of fear and change. For this production, the JES ensemble is joined on and above the stage by two aerial acrobats.
