Far Reaches by Real Live Theatre
One Raft Person. One Witness. One world covered in endless ocean.
What do we remember? What does it mean to survive, and what is survival worth? Two people from radically different backgrounds reach towards friendship and understanding, following memories and stories as they seek some kind of truth.
Far Reaches follows a deeply curious, tender-hearted Witness from another world as they discover everything they can about the ocean-swallowed planet of the solitary Raft Person. As the Witness and the Raft Person become ever more entwined in friendship, startling discoveries lead to endless layers of questions: How many other raft people are there? How did the roaches and the people evolve together? What material is that raft made out of anyway? Will we ever learn what a stormfish really is? Do we, actually, know when and where we are? The Witness and the Raft Person will need to unlock deeply forgotten memories in order to understand what their futures might hold.
