You are here! Where is here?

  • Barbican Theatre Castle Street Plymouth, England, PL1 2NJ United Kingdom (map)

Old Man Jakob is lost and alone, he tells us. No map, apart from memories of the Mappa Mundi. But how can a map from the thirteenth century really get him back “here”

But alone? Who then is the young figure who walks at his side? An echo from the past or a guide sent to get Jakob back “here”?

Ultimately, Jakob’s journey is not just a search for a physical return. It’s more about coming to terms with change in the life maps we create wherever - and whoever - we are.

YOU ARE HERE is about those maps we make of the world outside of us – and inside. And what happens when the two start to get a bit frayed at the edges.

YOU ARE HERE is about memory, music – and maps. And how the three are interlinked inside our heads

YOU ARE HERE is serious comedy with its fair share of thought-provoking language combined with some whacky slapstick humour.
