A theatrical XR encounter for two people at a time — inside a disused shipping container in East London. This isn’t theatre you watch. It’s theatre you feel on your skin. Through sound, movement, and radical tenderness, Within Touching Distance guides you through a lifetime of touch — from early innocence to the threshold of dying — in resistance to a world that insists on numbing us. Important Information: Two people per slot. Limited availability. Please arrive 5 minutes before your booked time slot. We cannot accept latecomers. At present, this event is not accessible to wheelchair users. Unfortunately, we do not have toilet facilities onsite.
