"Highly original and surprisingly funny in appreciating the appeal of theatre... a show that demands and rewards audience attention." - British Theatre Guide
'We’ve been apart for a while and things are feeling different.
Come and see us try again after 6 years.
Our bodies are different - its taken a long time to grow together - like formations in a cave - we’re here to re-emerge.
How long does it take for stalagmites to form? I’m not sure we have that much time...
One of us keeps dying.
Please clap.'
Using striking visuals, physical theatre, and frank conversations the Opposite of Distance grows from a beautiful geography lesson into reflections on what continues to draw theatre-makers to a moneyless stage.
Paper People Theatre are a multidisciplinary performance company who have worked with venues and organisations such as The Nuffield, The Royal Exchange, Contact Theatre, Word of Warning, Stage at Leeds, Vaults Festival, The National Theatre and The Tate Modern.
