Press 1 For Connection

About the show

We're back at The Courtyard for the third instalment of our Hackney Young Collective programme, giving 18-30 year olds the chance to create a brand-new piece of theatre.

This year's show dives into the tension between connection and control through the lens of an AI hotline. What do we say when no one is watching? Is connection ever truly ours to choose?

Expect a bold, thought-provoking performance that asks urgent questions about identity, autonomy, and the systems that shape us.
