written by Charlotte Brathwaite and Ismail Khalidi (inspired by 1984 by George Orwell)

Conceived and directed by Charlotte Brathwaite

THOUGHT/CRIME is an immersive performance inspired by George Orwell’s 1984 and the social conditions shaping life today. Audiences navigate a world of surveillance, censorship, and fractured intimacy—where language is weaponized, bodies are policed, and connection carries consequence. As the performance unravels, so do the rules. What begins as control collapses into something else: a chance to gather, to question, to speak.  THOUGHT/CRIME asks what it means to feel, to think, to stay human when silence is the cost of survival.
