A show about big things too small to be seen.
SMALLER is an extremely personal solo performance from theatre maker David Williams about biology and destiny.
Accidents, choices and serendipitous moments across three generations. Tiny moments with enormous reverberations. Things with knowable histories. Things deemed ‘de novo’: “From nowhere”.
SMALLER is storytelling theatre that interweaves family history, overlapping migration stories, genetic science, the history of DNA, and the experience of parenting a child with an invisible disability in a time of great uncertainty.
