DIG presents James Cousins Company: Rosalind

A SHAKESPEARIAN HEROINE.
A MODERN WORLD.

Venture deeper into the modern metropolis, where conservative days turn into wondrous nights. Follow the curious and courageous Rosalind as she embarks on a pursuit of enlightenment, fueled by love and oppression.

400 years on since Shakespeare wrote his iconic play As You Like It, what has changed in society? In this unique production, created in collaboration with rising stars of the British and Korean dance scenes, Cousins asks if a woman still needs to adopt a stereotypical masculinity in order to find equality in our modern world?
