Naran Ja by logica picnic

Friday 29th August, 7.30pm - 8.30pm

A bear, an astronaut, three flowers, an orange tree.

An absurd sequence of deaths and transformations unfolds onstage;

fable-like encounters between human and non-human figures.

Naran Ja examines our relation to the non-human world, challenging the hierarchies we tragically uphold to try to make sense of the world. It is a reflection on failure and hope, and what it means to be alive in an era haunted by the mass extinction of species.

In a playful exploration of form, the piece employs elements of live art & visual theatre. Naran Ja's set, built out of found objects, is as active in creating meaning as the performers which inhabit it. Orange, colour and fruit, (translating to naranja in Spanish) is a visual and thematic thread running through the work.

Praise for previous work (HOME @ VAULT 2023):

“Playful, rough, intimate and touchingly funny”

“Wonderfully simple playfulness” ★★★★ London Theatre 1
