You Can’t Take It With You

What do we need to survive? When does an object offer us something to hold onto? And when do these much-needed objects turn into useless material to be thrown away? Extreme collector’s mania, insurmountable rubbish tips and the necessity of the things surrounding us: they have inspired the Canadian choreo- grapher Liz Kinoshita to create You Can’t Take It With You.

This cheerful show by four performers asks you the question: which things do I really need?
