About this Event

Main Theatre @ Carnegie Hall

BBFC Rating: 15

A quietly powerful social realist drama following Aurora, a Portuguese migrant working in a vast Scottish fulfilment warehouse. As repetitive work and isolation begin to erode her sense of self, she searches for moments of connection and dignity in a world shaped by efficiency and distance. With remarkable restraint and empathy, director Laura Carreira crafts a moving portrait of modern labour, loneliness and the enduring human need to belong.
