When This Is Over

“Does anyone really know where their story starts?
Do you?
Maybe it only really starts when you tell it.
Maybe it’s starting right now.”

Hopeful, energetic and urgent, When This Is Over is a new performance created on Zoom and in socially distanced workshops through the pandemic, with seven young members of Company Three, all aged 14 – 18.

While grappling with the global future in their hands, these young people want to share with us the extraordinary, funny and sometimes embarrassing small moments that make up a life – from their childhood pasts, all the way through the pandemic and to the impossible imagined hope of what is to come.

When this Is Over is a chance for these young people to have their say, staged to coincide with the international climate change conference (COP26) this November as world leaders gather to determine our collective future.
