IMMOLATION - March 20-23!

Come Find Out What Freedom Means To You: March 20-23!!!. The Theatre & Performance program is excited to share our devised production of IMMOLATION. At its core IMMOLATION is about finding out what freedom is. There are costs to freedom, scars we gain and sometimes we lose ourselves for it. Come explore what freedom means to you and join the fight!

IMMOLATION is an artistic and powerful devised piece on rebellion and freedom split into four movements. Inspired by the stories of real freedom fighters, the ensemble aspires to delve into the nuances of their own interpretations of freedom. Loosely inspired by the theme of decolonization, director Pam Patel aims to delve into how these characters are shaped by their stories and how they interact together.  

During this experience the characters find themselves exploring a myriad of intricate and nuanced subjects, such as class distinctions, status quo, rebellion, safe spaces, the struggles faced by the trans community, and matriarchy, all set against the broader backdrop of the pursuit of freedom. At its core IMMOLATION is about finding out what freedom is. There are costs to freedom, scars we gain and sometimes we lose ourselves for it. Come explore what freedom means to you and join the fight.  

Before the show, attendees are encouraged to participate in the interactive engagement area. Doors will be open 30 minutes prior to the performance, allowing the audience to interact with installations that mirror the thematic focal points of IMMOLATION and delve into the creative inspiration behind this innovative work. Within the theatre gallery, spectators are invited to fully immerse themselves in a thematic exhibition designed to extend the world of the play to the world right in front of us. Attendees are also invited to stay after the production to participate in a talkback with the cast and creators.
