Jaz Woodcock-Stewart from award-winning company Antler collaborates with critically acclaimed choreographer Morgann Runacre-Temple.
A hairdryer, an oven, a letter opener. The local church, fiscal policy and Marie Kondo’s folding technique. Civilisation is about the things we’ve lost and the things we’ve built. Civilisation is a day in the life of a woman following a tragic event. An experiment in theatrical realism and contemporary dance.
From the creator behind critically acclaimed Lands, Civilisation is a sideways look at the untheatrical reality of loss. Music by ABBA and Bach.
“Complex, raw and insensibly smart, I could watch it for ever” – The Guardian
“Civilisation stays in the head long after its over” – The Stage
“It’s got such scale and ambition and within that, so much nuance. Just does not let you go” – Chris Thorpe
