FIVE LINES
Barbican, The Pit. Tue 28 Jan > Sat 1 Feb. UK Premiere
Five Lines transports us to a world shaped by the consequences of today's extreme greed. Witness a future where resource scarcity threatens our freedom, all in the name of survival. Yet, even in this stark reality, people retreat into their cocoons, forgetting that change is possible.
At its core this remarkable piece of micro cinema-theatre is an intimate exploration of human nature seen through the lens of one couple's relationship. It challenges us to consider whether our relentless pursuit of dreams leads to a better life or blinds us to what truly matters.
Love and an unquenchable lust for life drive this adventure, reminding us that even in the darkest of situations we can imagine and create better worlds.

“The exquisite sound of Matteo Frau's trumpet heightens the emotional and intellectual texture of the show… It is as if we were watching a film while at the same time seeing how it is being filmed live”
