A rare and magnificent opportunity to witness seven lives lived in fast forward... Before Your Very Eyes! As a 5 year old I have just started to learn what time passing is, I can even remember my age all by myself. As a 39 year old I am half-way through my life. So unless my batteries run out, I get eaten by a lion or crushed by a machine, I roughly have a good idea how much time I have left. Nine 8-14 year olds, locked away in a room made of one-way mirrors. They peer into the future at themselves as adults and back at their recent past, as they prepare to leave childhood behind forever. Through live performance and recorded material, Before Your Very Eyes turns ideas about age and innocence upside down. CAMPO and Gobsquad's Before Your Very Eyes is the last part of the CAMPO trilogy of theatre with children, made for an adult audience. In association with LIFT, London International Festival of Theatre. Ages 14+ and Adults. Running time: 80mins
