HAND ME DOWN

These hand-me-downs tie us together accross generations, even as parents and children find themselves worlds apart

Blending dance, physical theatre, audio and spoken word, the show weaves intergenerational stories together. Four friends follow the path back, across history and culture, finding a way forward in the things that were handed down.

A story of dance and spoken word from Wayward Thread.
