THROUGH ANOTHER LENS
6 September | 2.55pm, 5.00pm | Waterfront Square, E20 2AQ
Duration: 17 Minutes
Key info
Free to attend – Just turn up!
A bold performance that shifts how we see the world—raw, real, and powerfully human.
Performed by a powerful ensemble of disabled and non-disabled artists, this work uncovers beauty in places we rarely pause to see.
From Australia’s internationally acclaimed inclusive company, this bold new performance invites you to slow down, look closer, and experience the world from a different perspective.
This outdoor performance strips away theatrical trickery to focus on what really matters: presence, perspective, and connection. What unfolds is tender, fierce, and achingly real.
THROUGH ANOTHER LENS is supported by The London Borough of Newham, Eastbank, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Creative Australia and Create SA.
