If/Then was part of After the Referendum Festival, a one-day festival exploring European identity, which took place in Camden People’s Theatre in partnership with the European Theatre Research Network (University of Kent), the Inside/Outside Europe Research Network (University of Winchester) and Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre (Birkbeck College), September 2016.
If/Then explored the terrain of the dilemma drawing on examples in history, myth, literature, philosophy, geopolitics and the media; alongside on-street vocal recordings of the general public and written responses by selected artists, writers, poets. The performance framed a multitude of stories on people, boundaries, the universal and the everyday. What questions simply cannot be answered by a yes or no and how would you respond?
