We live in an ever shifting political and geographical landscape. As a generation that grew up into an open-doors Europe and the advances of the internet, we have been accustomed to travel, exchange, engage with and collaborate with people with different nationalities from us. The freedom of movement has allowed us to expand our knowledge of what ?place' and ?borders' mean. If borders are protective systems, who are they protecting us from? Those who come to seek a better life amongst us, or those who enforce oppressive systems that maintain their privileges? Post is an exploration of what it means to be a migrant, of constantly inhabiting a ?national limbo' and failing to be adhering to border and identity-defining norms. This performance is extra-live and audiences are invited to respond to the show in whatever way feels natural; moving around, making noises and coming and going from the auditorium if needed. Latecomers are permitted. Commissioned by Ovalhouse with support from Bike Shed Theatre, Marlborough Theatre, Camden People's Theatre and Tempting Failure Festival. Additional funding from Arts Council England.
