This February, the theme of our Playback performance is something the world desperately needs at the moment: LOVE. We have watched the violence and intimidation happening around the world, but in the midst of suffering, we have also seen love. We see it in the last words "are you okay?", we see it in the UK hunger strikers risking their own lives for others, we see it in neighbours helping neighbours, we see it in people daring to fall in love in a dangerous time.
In her book, "All About Love”, bell hooks reminds us that “love will prevail.” At this performance, we want to create a space for us to explore love over fear. We invite you to share your stories of love; be it family, friendship, romance, nature, or even a love that extends to people you don’t even know. What is your story?
Was there a moment when you chose love over fear?
Was there a time when you felt deeply loved?
Was there a time you loved your neighbour?
Was there a moment when love was missing?
We would love to hear your stories about love. Together, let’s explore the power of love.
