On Ageing

Synopsis:
as an empty room fills with memories, a group of extraordinary performers create a portrait of a lifetime over the course of a show. With playful energy, wry humour and brutal honesty that come only from children, On ageing builds a landscape of words and images, to explore living as a journey of endless change. Performed by children for an audience of adults, On ageing is the latest in a series of acclaimed performances by Fevered Sleep that unravel and reimagine the fabric of everyday life.
