Checkmate
On a life-sized chessboard, a single pawn dares to rise. Checkmate is a visceral physical theatre piece fusing spoken word and movement to tell the story of one fighter's climb from nothing to power - and the price she must pay to get there.
As the battle for a foster care center rages, and every move brings her closer to the queen she longs to become - and farther from the person she used to be. When victory demands sacrifice, betrayal and blood, she must face the ultimate question: is it all worth it?
Checkmate is an epic tale of ambition, power, and the human cost of winning.
