"Life must be lived forwards, but it can only be understood backwards." Kierkagaard This thrilling and powerful visual performance from one of the world's most exciting theatre companies is the second piece in an epic trilogy that explores the origins and possible futures of life itself. In 2012, Ontroerend Goed (Fight Night, Audience, Teenage Riot, Sirens) premiered part one of the trilogy, A History of Everything, at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, squeezing four billion years of history into an hour and a half of theatre. Are we not drawn onward to a new erA is an awe-inspiring exploration of this crucial moment in our future history. In our quest for progress we have dramatically changed the world we live in. Are our actions irreversible or can we undo them? Like its title, this performance is a palindrome - you will be able to see it forwards and backwards. Using live music by celebrated composer Basinski, Are we not drawn onward to new erA will play three performances only at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, followed by the prestigious Adelaide Festival before touring internationally.
