Headlines Theatre presents Us and Them (the inquiry)

What makes it possible for us to compromise the well-being of humanity and the planet? What compels society to create, over and over again, the ‘other’: the creation of the ‘them’ in us and them?

Come and help imagine ways to challenge and transcend the false notion of us versus them as played out in BC’s fields between farm owners and agriculture workers.

Participate in this collective, engaging theatre experiment to build bridges between all of us.

A new way of seeing is required. How do we find ways to let go of our certainty that ‘we’ are right and therefore ‘they’ must be wrong? How do we understand that in whatever geography, whatever politic, whatever context, there is no certain them; there is only an ever-evolving us?

Headlines Theatre delves into these questions with Us and Them, a multi-layered, two year long project exploring why and how humanity creates ‘the other’. The first phase, the inquiry, is a series of 21 public events in the Fall of 2010. Audiences will experience an intimate evening of theatre without a play. No actors, no script - just an open theatrical dialogue.
