Vanishing Point
UNDER
28 – 30 Jan 2027
Event details
UNDER is a late-night collision of poetry, theatre and live music by playwright and poet Imogen Stirling, created with musician Susan Bear.
Steph has spent her adult life following a familiar pattern: pills, periods, relationships, expectations. The future seems predetermined – partnership, fertility, motherhood. Then something begins to pull her underground.
In the Greek myth, Persephone is abducted into the underworld and condemned to stay after eating its pomegranate seeds. But what if she went willingly? What if she ate the seeds knowingly? What if the underworld offered something the world above could not?
Playful and sensual, UNDER explores female choice, sexual autonomy and the lives we are expected to want.
