Saving Face
Synopsis
From British Chinese choreographer and theatre maker Si Rawlinson comes Saving Face, a comedy, word, and dance show about four office colleagues hiding in plain sight, discovering what happens when buried things come up for air. Invisible illness and private struggle might make you relatable, but maybe just do your job, ok?
Saving Face is performed by dancers Yukiko Masui, Jamaal O’Driscoll, Lisa Chearles and Rawlinson himself. The show uses interdisciplinary theatre to push the boundaries of storytelling, mixing hip hop and contemporary dance, dialogue and physical theatre, finding humour and comfort in the things that make us human.
Produced by Kakilang, commissioned by Curve Theatre, and The Place.
Age guidance: 12+
Show Warning: This performance contains moderate adult themes of illness and relationships.
