Roots - A Scratch Night Performance

The stimulus of the project is 'Roots'. In life, we often focus on what we can see in front of us; on what's visibly beautiful. But what about what is unseen? The intricate and essential groundwork of roots that happens beneath the surface of the soil. Roots challenges us to look deeper, to uncover the hidden forces that shape and sustain what we see above. They represent where we come from: our heritage, our home, our history. What does it mean to be rooted? To feel grounded, connected, and nurtured by the places, people, and cultures that shaped you? And what does it mean to be unrooted, to feel adrift, to lose or search for that connection?

We asked four playwrights to dig deep and explore what lies beneath the surface. Come along to see what stories have been unearthed!
