The Wedding // Panel discussion
Gecko’s latest creation (The Wedding) is inspired by the complexities of human nature; the struggle between love and anger, creation and destruction, community and isolation. In a blur of wedding dresses and contractual obligations, their extraordinary ensemble of international performers guides audiences through a dystopian world in which we are all brides, wedded to society.
Panel discussion
Gecko will host a discussion exploring two key themes from the show – integration and social cohesion, and affecting change in the community. You'll have the opportunity to share your thoughts and questions with the team.
The panel will include:
-Gecko Artistic Director Amit Lahav
-The Wedding performer Chris Evans
-Ian Cook, an artist from Derbyshire who has been working with Gecko on physical theatre workshops to bring together young people from a local and migrant or refugee background
-Steph Rooney from Transition Liverpool, part of an international movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world
