THE AFTERMATH
What happens to young people when their world comes to a standstill?
THE AFTERMATH is an open-air dance theatre piece exploring the passion and agency of youth in the age of COVID-19.
In this brand new show devised with the young people of Calderdale, Northern Rascals and Northern Broadsides place them front and centre like never before.
20 young people explore their feelings of isolation, anger and hope about a world hurtling towards a future they will inherit but is out of their control.
How can Calderdale’s young people move past a time which has threatened their prospects, power and place?
“The Aftermath is art at its cruellest best, uncovering the most painful of truths with drama and beauty” - YorkshireTimes
Choreographed by Northern Rascals and Designed by Rose Revitt, the team are proud to bring you this explosive piece of dance theatre in the unparalleled surroundings of the world’s last remaining eighteenth-century Cloth Hall.
Created during the pandemic, the team followed strict government guidelines to bring Calderdale’s first live performance on Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th November.
The team created a short film version of THE AFTERMATH which premiered on Facebook and Northern Broadsides YouTube channel.
“It is humbling and exhilarating that it is created by the young. By the young, but for us all. It is here that the real hope lies”
