SCAPE at The Tank

For every to-do list, there are things better left undone. On the last night before her childhood home is sold, a young woman gets a call from her dead father. As childhood memories distort, warping into something sinister, she must confront not only the spirit of her father, but the child-self she buried with him. Anchored by home videos from the creator's childhood and newspaper articles written by her late father, SCAPE resurrects this vast personal archive. These records form the narrative core and aesthetic touchstone of the play, becoming scene partners that blur the line between the living and the lost. A haunted reckoning unfolds in the static, where the past won’t stay dead. POPE JOAN is a multidisciplinary theatre company creating boundary-pushing new works that examine the histories that have shaped womanhood through to the digital age. With work spanning design, theatre, and film, POPE JOAN co-founders and artists Kyndall Sillanpaa and Sophie Vincent create unflinching work that asks what it means to fall apart and rebuild again.
