Event information

by Kyo Choi

Performed by MA Acting Contemporary

Creative and Production team includes students from BA (Hons) Theatre Practice

Galápagos is a new play by Kyo Choi, directed by Gemma Aked-Priestley, for Central’s MA Acting Contemporary students, exploring sexual violence and rape culture from Ancient Greece to London 2050.

When a young girl reports her sexual assault by a fellow student to her school, this sets off a chain of fantastical events that lead her further and further away from the path of justice. Galápagos seeks to challenge systemic failures to protect young people from sexual violence by boldly disrupting time and form.

This show is recommended for audiences age 14+

This production includes talk and a brief visual of sexual violence, and includes strobe lighting.
