Factory Theatre presents *12 Litres 8800 Steps*, an interdisciplinary theatrical play that dives deep into the emotional landscape of those who have lost loved ones to addiction. The story follows a woman’s odyssey as she navigates the fragility of her own mental health while witnessing her partner’s struggle with addiction.
A Unique Theatrical Experience
What sets this play apart is its use of magic realism—a horse appears on stage, and the bond between the woman and the horse becomes a central element of the narrative. Inspired by equine therapy, the play explores how this relationship helps the protagonist rediscover play and ultimately heal. It’s an 80-minute, high-octane experience that uses stunning visuals and an immersive soundscape to tell a story that is both heartbreaking and hopeful.
