THE OTHER IS YOU
A Play in Europe – Germany, the Netherlands, England.
Nine people from across the continent perform together in one single production.
Three audiences, one in each city, experience the performance simultaneously.
A basement in Brighton, a school in Groningen, and a gallery in Berlin merge to become a fourth imaginary space.
Station House Opera’s extraordinary new show is performed at the same moment across Europe. Projected live from each city onto three screens above the actors, a narrative unfolds, immediate, unpredictable and alive.
As the three cities merge into one, relationships form across countries. Berliners visit their sea-front and Brighton gains a canal. Languages and lovers cross over and involve us in a live puzzle. The Other Is You, performed by a truly European company, tells a story which is both universal and true to its own locality. What does it mean to be European? Are we strangers or are we family?
Rehearsed and performed over the internet by a company of actors who only ever meet in cyberspace, The Other Is You is the latest ground-breaking project by experimental performance company Station House Opera.
