Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
A celebration of life in all its stages from award-winning Hobsons Bay-based theatre company Born in a Taxi, Prime Time challenges our assumptions and expectations about age and ageing.
This new intergenerational work features a diverse cast of 14, aged between four and 93. Prime Time interrogates the relationship between age, power, visibility, and value, forging new dialogues across generations through personal stories and diverse perspectives across each decade of life.
Prime Time experiments with the intersections of theatre, dance, live and recorded text, sound composition and visual design. This work celebrates the voices, memories and experiences of local people from across ten decades of life. Collected through interviews, workshops and creative collaboration across Braybrook and Footscray, the project engaged more than 170 participants and has been brought to life by a team of nine artists.
