Playful Acts of Rebellion
Devised by the Company
Directed by Claire Quinn
Nominated for a Sustainable Production Award.
Inspired by courageous protesters who risk everything for what they believe in, four women decide to take action. These women resolve to stop their ineffectual moaning and to find playful ways to stand up for what they believe in. Playful Acts of Rebellion questions what makes something worth the fight, what effect can an individual have? and how does trying to change the world end up changing us?
Charting their journeys, from unusual concepts to moments of desperation, despair and human triumph, Playful Acts of Rebellion uses exciting visual storytelling to tell four uplifting stories about how protest although difficult can also be joyous.
