If none of this had happened, and we could do our show for real – then tonight would be the night.
It’s a pandemic, and the theatres are closed. But that won’t stop Junction Young Company from creating their most brilliant, impossible show. They’ve been practicing for months – rehearsing their most gripping dramatic scenes and choreographing impeccable dance routines. But will backstage nerves get the better of them? And will the pyrotechnics go off properly?
Part love-letter to live theatre, part absurdist improvised game, this short film by Breach and Junction Young Company made during 2020 remembers what it was like to be in a theatre – and looks forward to when we can be there again.
