I'm Not Into Politics Things I Am Not

    • Performing Arts

“I’m not into politics / naively I used to say / not realising that everything is political or - a better way to put it - politicised.”
Intense and personal, “I’m Not Into Politics” by Mai Weisz navigates an uneasy terrain of geopolitics and interpersonal relations. Shot through with love and fear, the monologue contends with divisions and the quest to overcome them in a world increasingly invested in labels and categorisation. As individuals, can we swap seemingly intractable opposition for an alternative, more liminal space full of possibilities? Could London be a place that makes that possible?
