7 writers 7 directors 7 casts 7 + regions around the world, 7 days to prepare, 7 theatrically styled virtual storytelling pieces.

The show is premiering on 7 May at 8pm on all POPArt Virtual Theatre Channels.

A chance for professional theatre and live arts makers from around the world to come together and partake in an experiment in virtual storytelling in a guided and super collaborative process from their homes (and environments to the extent that this is allowed during various Covid-19 restrictions) over 7 days.

Borrowing from our most loved 24 Hours in the City format, POPArt is providing a digital platform / holding space for making cute experimental digital stories at a far more relaxed space in our time separate togetherness.

The result: 7 brand new short pieces of virtual storytelling made across the world over 7 days premiering to a live audience on 7 May at 8pm.

Writers include: Neo Sibiya, Rebecca Peyton (UK), Louis Roux, Ncumisa McNdimeni, Katlego Chale and Chelsea Dee (USA) Directors include : Kirsten Harris, Siphumeze Khundayi, Clara Louise Vaughan, Katy Liddle (UK), Roberto Pombo and Jaques De SilvaActors include : Khutjo Green, Jake Nathane, Shruti Mistra (India), Gerard Bester, Ryan Dittmann, Omphile Tefo Paya (Botswana), Thuli Cwayita Nduvane, Chris Djuma and Rachael Neary (UK).
