Maya ShohamProfessional company

60 minutesJust The Attic
Maya is going through something. It's something to do with feeling... this thing of... ummm... like... maybe not even... you know... Actually, she can't find the words to articulate what it is. So Maya does what any normal person would do: she invites an audience to help her invent new words. Word invention is an art form that requires an audience. Conveniently enough, so is theatre. The play twists and turns as Maya the playwright gets in the way of Maya the performer (and vice versa), on this increasingly chaotic journey of trying to articulate herself.

About Maya Shoham

Maya Shoham presents In Other Words, a solo theatre show at Just The Attic in which Maya — struggling to articulate a feeling she cannot quite name — invites an audience to help her invent new words. The play twists and turns as Maya the playwright gets in the way of Maya the performer, turning the attempt to describe one's inner life into an increasingly chaotic theatrical journey. Running for 60 minutes, the show features audience participation and is suitable for ages 12 and over.

Why see this show?

A playful, structurally clever solo show that makes word invention into a genuine theatrical event — warm, strange and refreshingly honest about the limits of language.
