Here We Come Together, Here We Fall Apart

Hands touch on a subway pole. A stranger approaches and says, “I love you.” Someone waltzes with you on the platform. Modern urban life keeps us emotionally apart and at the same time, presses us closer together. At what point does proximity become intimacy? Here We Come Together, Here We Fall Apart draws attention to the moments - tragic, beautiful, humorous, grotesque - that we share with strangers in public every day.

Sub-Sublime, a newly formed collective comprised of fifteen theatre-makers from nine countries, invite you to share in our exploration of the intricate balance between emotional separation and physical proximity. Here We Come Together, Here We Fall Apart is inspired by our personal interpretation of London and the corresponding “proxemic experiments” Sub-Sublime conducted in response. Vignettes from public spaces and private minds bring these experiences to Sprint 2015 through live performance, filmed segments, and found objects.

Play with the threshold of space and intimacy. Explore unexpected moments with strangers. Are we facilitators of meaningful connection, or theatrical agitators inflicting our ideas on the innocent public? Make up your own mind: step out of your comfort zone and into the world of Here We Come Together, Here We Fall Apart.
