Almeida Questions: Vassa
The reality of multigenerational living
Tickets £5
Free to those aged 25 and under (limited to 2 per person)
‘Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we’ve put it in an impossible situation.’ - Margaret Mead, anthropologist.
Adults boomeranging back to live with Mum and Dad. Garages converted into granny flats. As property prices soar, are there benefits to multigenerational living? Does sharing a microwave with your nan spark tension or foster intimacy? And what might we learn from cultures with a strong tradition of multigenerational households?
Inspired by Vassa, this Almeida Questions panel discusses shacking up with your extended family.
Almeida Questions is an eclectic programme of pre-show discussions which consider some of the questions raised by the work on our stage.
