Baby Boomers
Directed by John Wright
Performed by Nick Ash and Becky Kitter
A stunning piece of physical theatre, BABY BOOMERS
substitutes language for balloons, and blends mask,
puppetry and extreme balloon modelling to tell
stories of love, loss and regret.
What do you do after a tragic event if you can get
over it but your partner just can't?
Where can you go, what can you do?
Acclaimed director, John Wright co-founder of Trestle
and Told by an Idiot tells the heart warming story of
a young couple from their first meeting and follows
them through the life they make together. But a
tragic loss is set to change their lives forever and
force them to make a choice.
Running time 60 minutes
‘The moment the young girl finally meets her older
self is chokingly poignant. What seems like a
saddening comparison between someone
in the prime of their youth with their
older, less able self turns into a
celebration of life and all that is
possible for anyone of any age.
The enduring power of being
young at heart is then fully
revealed through the final
concluding image - one of
the greatest balloon
sculptures you’ll ever see’
