2025 has seen a worldwide clamour for power.

Take a seat at a big, bold, beautiful meeting without ceiling or walls – this is a physical broadcast by the young.

Seven performers, the youngest just 15, are on the cusp of life and the tail end of institutions.

Let them lead.

The performance marks an important moment for Stacked Wonky. Five leading arts organisations - Greenwich & Docklands International Festival, Fabric, Landmark Theatres, Sadler’s Wells and Strike A Light – came together to commission a work foregrounding the brilliance of young makers, something we have long championed.
