La Distance

2077, Earth is breaking. As the planet buckles under environmental collapse, part of humanity has launched itself toward Mars, chasing the promise of a new beginning. Across millions of miles, a father fights to hold onto his relationship with his daughter, as her new future unfolds on a distant red planet.

This play by Tiago Rodrigues, director of the Festival d’Avignon, is a breathtakingly beautiful and profoundly human production about separation, hope, and the bond between parent and child.
