A woman is displaced, she must find a new home, she must find a new story. Can she weave a way forward when her roots have been lost? Must she excavate the past to find a place in the present?
At Once Before And After centres around four female identifying characters who are at once individuals and part of a whole, through burial rites, stories told around campfires and archaeological sites. They are at once before and after.
Offie nominated director Charlotte Ive knits together contrasting strands of storytelling styles into an intricate, dynamic and stirring tapestry. Unearthing the chimerical connections we form between place, identity and story.
Together with her company Scrawny Cat, they have made work for venues such as The V&A Museum, The Bunker Theatre and The Roundhouse Camden and numerous site specific and outdoor venues. Having been awarded one of Theatre Deli’s 2034/24 Residencies, Charlotte has reunited a team of wonderful collaborators – Holly Barbour, Chioma Nwalioba and Amy Watkins as actor/creators and Charlotte Muir as creative producer.
