Parallel Lines is an ensemble performance that explores power structures in a capitalist society, inspired by a mysterious glass building in London’s financial district and a blurry shared imagining of what goes on inside. Geometry, symmetry and unity homogenise and regulate the space and bodies, creating warped images of an overbearing system beyond our understanding and control.

[In Brackets] consists of seven practitioners from five different countries (England, Italy, Israel, South Korea and Taiwan). The work is a cross course collaboration combining students from MA Advanced Theatre Practice and MA Scenography from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
