A world premiere developed during the 2025 Momentum Festival, written and performed by Christopher Rivas and directed by Adil Mansoor. Uniquely interactive, this one-of-a-kind performance invites audiences, amidst the intimacy of the Lillie Theatre, to explore their own mortality by imagining they have a collective last hour to spend together.
