Try, fail, repeat. Try, fail, repeat. We’re all stuck in the same endless cycle, trying to claw our way to the top of a system that wasn’t built for us in the first place. But maybe the solution isn’t to find a way to win. Maybe the solution is to tear it all down and start anew. 

The Space Theatre, 28 November – 2 December, 7:30pm with a livestream and matinee on 2 December 2:30pm 

“I’m so tired of waiting…aren’t you?” 

Coming to The Space this winter is a world-premiere physical theatre piece drawn from the lived experience of migrant and marginalised artists. This design-driven, bold piece draws on global storytelling traditions to explore what it means to keep yourself alive in a world that does not want you – and how far you have to go to reshape it into one that does. 

Audiences for the Transit R&D called it “startlingly clear” and “immaculate.” 

Transit is the newest show from Halfpace Theatre, a migrant-led company supporting new and devised work by underrepresented artists. Halfpace’s work has been seen across London at The Cockpit Theatre, Blue Elephant Theatre, Applecart Arts and Bridge House Theatre. Alongside their artistic programming, Halfpace runs a community development programme encompassing free workshops, devising jams, mentorship, bid-writing and producing support and paid traineeships for underrepresented artists. 

The team for Transit represent ten countries, continuing Halfpace’s tradition of blending international theatre techniques to create dynamic ensemble theatre. 

Tickets are priced on a Pay What You Choose basis between £7 and £20. For tickets visit https://space.org.uk/event/transit/
