PRESENTED BY THE SUBSTATION, BORN IN A TAXI & MELBOURNE FRINGE
A celebration of life in all its stages, Prime Time by Born in a Taxi interrogates the relationship between age, power, visibility, and value. This new intergenerational work challenges our assumptions and expectations about age and ageing. Featuring a cast of 14, aged between 5 and 93, Prime Time forges new dialogues across generations through shared stories, perspectives, dance and sound.
