The Past Life poster, which consists of half a cartoon face covering the left side, with blonde hair swept across the right. The face is made up of a mixture of colours patched together, including greens, pinks, yellows and blues. The face is smiling, but has a blue tear falling down its brown eye. In the top left corner of the image is the Arts Council England logo in white alongside tour venue logos, The Lowry, Hull Truck, Camden Peoples Theatre, Curve and The Unity. The poster also has the words 'Supported by Extant', with their logo beneath the venue logos. In the top right corner of the image, PAST LIFE is written in a mixture of different fonts, with alternating vibrant colours that match the face. ‘Written by Alice Christina-Corrigan’ is in bright orange underneath this title treatment.

Synopsis

Share:

A multi-sensory exploration that follows Kiera as she revisits her Past Life – a life she felt ready to feel again, a life she thought she missed. But can you reopen a wound without hurting yourself again?

Follow Kiera (and Betty the brain) as they navigate their way through a storm of boxing rings, sleepless nights, gym glasses paint throwing and coming to terms with loss. A genre-bending show that intertwines dynamic sound scoring, audio descriptive language, creative captioning and projected animation to aid an energetic, fast paced and harrowing telling of what trauma looks like in the 21st century.

This story is for everybody made to feel like just another body.
For you.
For me.
For us all.

Age recommendation 16+ – Please note: This performance contains themes of sexual assault, abuse and mental health, discussion of suicide and moments of loud music.
