Spring.
There’s a batch of babies crawling around the stage, their mothers’ eyes on them.
There’s a group of pregnant women too and, inside them, some people who haven’t been born yet.
Spring. looks to the future and imagines what kind of lives might be about to be lived in the world we’re leaving behind.
Fuelled by incessant karaoke and a text built out of hundreds of awkward questions, Spring. asks about absence and presence and what it means to be hopeful.
Show me how you want it to be…
Hit me [….. ] one more time.
