<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 16px; color: black;"><b><i>IMMOLATION
</i></b>is an artistic and powerful devised piece on rebellion and freedom split into four movements. Inspired by the stories of real freedom fighters, the ensemble aspires to delve into the nuances of their own interpretations of freedom. Loosely inspired
by the theme of decolonization, director <b>Pam Patel</b> aims to delve into how these characters are shaped by their stories and how they interact together. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 16px; color: black;">During this experience the characters find themselves exploring a myriad of intricate and nuanced subjects, such
as class distinctions, status quo, rebellion, safe spaces, the struggles faced by the trans community, and matriarchy, all set against the broader backdrop of the pursuit of freedom. At its core
<b><i>IMMOLATION </i></b>is about finding out what freedom is. There are costs to freedom, scars we gain and sometimes we lose ourselves for it. Come explore what freedom means to you and join the fight. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 16px; color: black;">Before the show, attendees are encouraged to participate in the interactive engagement area. Doors will be open
30 minutes prior to the performance, allowing the audience to interact with installations that mirror the thematic focal points of
<b><i>IMMOLATION </i></b>and delve into the creative inspiration behind this innovative work. Within the theatre gallery, spectators are invited to fully immerse themselves in a thematic exhibition designed to extend the world of the play to the world right
in front of us. </span></p>
