New Beginning

A collective breath for our future planet

A Variable Matter and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production, in association with Royal Central School of Speech and Drama


A WORLD PREMIERE


New Beginning is a one-of-a-kind 60 minute performance, using stunning projections, a newly composed score and soundscape, poetic text and natural materials to immerse audiences in our future planet. Explore the magic of forests, and the devastating effect of climate change. Made with 206 young people who guide us through this constantly evolving powerful experience, New Beginning will challenge perceptions and make us question the impact we have on the natural world…


From Variable Matter, the artist led collective behind The People’s Kitchen and The Rising Sun, and directed and designed by award-winning artist David Shearing.


In our beginning is our end…
