The Maria

To celebrate 25 years of Taking Part, our three strands (Learning, Participation and Neighbourhood Theatre) will come together to create a promenade performance piece which shines a light on the voices and stories of our community members. Of The Cut will be led by a team of multi-disciplinary creatives, fusing film, stage, sound, imagery and story together through the lens of magical realism. Of The Cut will provide an insight into the many lives lived on and around The Cut, and also explore what the next 25 years has in store for our vibrant community.

This event will start in The Maria (our medium sized studio space) followed by a promenade around the local area, including Southwark College and St Andrews, Waterloo. You will navigate the performance through a route across the cut, performances will be indoor and outdoor.

All performances are relaxed. You can move, make noise and respond naturally to the performance. Performances are not sensory adapted.

Part of Taking Part 25, a season of work celebrating 25 years of the Young Vic’s creative engagement department.

Of The Cut is generously supported by IHS Markit.
