“There is depth and humanity in everything [the artists] do, so the theme of the performance has a range of emotion and touches the fibres of the soul”

Become a guest in this theatre-turned living room where reality and dreams meld


Break the boundaries between performer and spectator through the Workcenter’s inspirational production, where “hosts” (actors) and “guests” (audience members) shed the need for characterisation and jettison their conventional separation to interact with each other before and after the work in a “living room”-style performance space. In this communal setting, the “hosts” keep up the powerful and positive connection between the human psyche and the arts through ancient traditional songs and dream sequences exuding warmth and harmony. Distance between strangers then dissolves, providing a singular opportunity for actors and audience to cut loose from their inner baggage and appreciate anew long-forgotten links to one another.
