IT'S OUR 50TH BIRTHDAY! 🥳 #YV50

Today marks 50 years since we first opened our doors & what a better way to celebrate this milestone than by sharing with you our brand-new year-long programme of work entitled #WeAreTheNewTide

Check out this thread for more info 👇
First up, our 50th Birthday Projections 📽

Starting tonight, each evening the front of our building will become a giant canvas, illuminated by a video projection by @duncanjmclean, celebrating the people & productions who have contributed to our history over the last 5 decades. Image
The #YV50 Projection Project is a homage to the entire community who make up the DNA of the Young Vic and it will run Monday to Saturdays, from 7.30pm until 10.30pm

Also launching today: #YVUnforgotten, a free interactive installation that questions & engages w/ the conversation within #BlackLivesMatter about statues being torn down, asking us what monuments could be newly elevated.

The installation - created by Artists @sadeysa & @AnnaFleischle - features statues commemorating three trailblazers of the Black community: Mary Seacole, Marsha P. Johnson & Ulric Cross.

You are invited to contribute by submitting your own nominations & tagging #YVUnforgotten ImageImageImage
Finally, the 1st piece of live theatre since we closed in March: #TheNewTomorrow festival on 3 & 4 Oct.

Anyone planning to stream #TheNewTomorrow from home today? 🙋 Here are some tips on how to get the full Young Vic experience... 🏠 [THREAD]
Treat yourself to some home-made ice-cold tap water infused with mint leaves!

Water🥤 + Mint🌿 = Deliciousness😋

It has actually been described as 'the poshest water I've ever had'. True story.

#PoshestWaterIveEverHad
Did you know that our auditorium is built uniquely for every single show that we stage? No seating plan is ever the same!

So you can reconfigure your lounge furniture as if it were the YV auditorium. Bonus points if you leave 1 metre in between seats!

We would have liked some better weather, in fact, there is a 30% chance that it's already raining ☔️

Welcoming you back IS SO FETCH!
