Platform 88
Platform 88 Physical Theatre Company

A poetic, movement and image-led performance about arrivals and departures. the continuous struggle to conquer a space and to make sense
of every common action echoes the transformation of a woman. Facing her
past, having no future, she will rediscover an open path in herself, a desperate attempt to step forward.
'Platform 88 created a unique atmosphere that was visually enticing and invited the audience to an intimate experience whilst waiting for a train' Mary Retteda -Westlake, The Space, Artistic Director
