Take Up Space
A production by Lyra Young Company x Crew
Shindig. Festa. Przyjęcie. दल
(Dal). Rave-up. Mmemme. حَفْلَة (Hafla). Party.
Whatever you call it, we're throwing it.
Whoever you are, you're invited.
We don’t have anywhere to go that's ours. Too old for the playpark, too young for the pub. So when word spreads about an empty, it spreads like wildfire.
People see us as loud, lazy, ungrateful youths. But really? We just want somewhere to go. Somewhere to feel alive.
So here it is.
Expect live music, dancing, hoarse throats, ringing ears, and memories you’ll never forget.
