Theatre Re, the acclaimed performance company renowned for their spellbinding fusion of live music and arresting visuals, is set to take the UK by storm with their latest production, Moments. This autumn, they’ll embark on a UK tour, bringing a thought-provoking exploration of time, fatherhood, and grief to audiences nationwide. But don’t expect your typical Theatre Re performance—this one hits closer to home. Quite literally.
Rediscovering Purpose Through Theatre
Moments is a bold departure from Theatre Re’s repertoire. Think of it as a TED Talk wrapped in a theatrical performance. It’s introspective, raw, and achingly personal. Created by Katherine Graham, Guillaume Pigé, and Alex Judd, the show delves into their experiences of parenthood and midlife, weaving these narratives into a poetic reflection on why they create theatre. Their creative bond becomes the stage, and the audience gets a front-row seat to the question: “Why do we do what we do?”
The result? A captivating blend of self-discovery, vulnerability, and sheer theatrical magic. It’s a performance that invites you to pause and reflect, offering a rare glimpse into the process behind the artistry.
The Theatre Re Signature: Live Music and Striking Visuals
Theatre Re is known for their ability to move audiences across the globe. Over the past 13 years, their productions have touched 17 countries across three continents. Combining non-verbal storytelling with original live music, the company’s work resonates on a universal level, speaking directly to the heart. In Moments, their signature style takes on a stripped-back intimacy, offering a raw connection to their creative journey.
Director Guillaume Pigé describes the production as “just us and ultimately a question. What are we doing here? What’s the point?” These existential musings are layered with a sense of immediacy and tenderness that defines Theatre Re’s storytelling.
A Pause for Reflection and Rediscovery
Marking over a decade of international acclaim, Moments is more than just a performance. It’s a reckoning. After six shows and countless tours, the company is using this production as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and rediscover their purpose. This intentional slowing down mirrors the themes of attentiveness, creativity, and the poetry hidden in everyday life that permeate the production.
In a world obsessed with the next big thing, Moments is a reminder of the power of now. It asks us to find the beauty in the fleeting, the ephemeral, and the seemingly mundane.
Behind the Curtain: What Makes Moments Unique
What sets Moments apart is its collaborative and supportive foundation. Funded by Arts Council England, the project was co-commissioned by the London International Mime Festival and supported by key cultural institutions like Shoreditch Town Hall, The Lowry in Salford, The Point Eastleigh, and the University of York.
Theatre Re’s commitment to cross-arts and cross-sector collaboration underscores their dedication to making theatre that is both inventive and accessible. By demystifying the creative process, Moments becomes a shared experience between artist and audience, making it all the more resonant.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss Moments
In Moments, Theatre Re proves once again that they’re not just creating performances—they’re crafting life-changing experiences. This production isn’t just for theatre buffs. It’s for anyone who has ever questioned their path, anyone who has found beauty in the ordinary, and anyone who needs a reminder to pause and breathe.
With its mix of personal narratives, universal themes, and Theatre Re’s trademark artistry, Moments promises to be an unforgettable journey.
