Side By Side

ENCOUNTER

A joyful, intergenerational theatre experience where young people and seniors come together to surprise each other—and themselves.

Socialising Like a Senior is a bold, feel-good performance created in each community through a two-week residency, where a travelling youth ensemble collaborates with local seniors to make a one-of-a-kind live show. Full of humour, connection and unexpected moments, it invites audiences to rethink ageing, belonging and what it means to truly connect.

A vibrant, participatory work that brings communities together in surprising and unforgettable ways.
