‘The Seven Ages of
Care’ is a poetic film created by Imaginarium
artist Holly Blue, inspired by Shakespeare’s ‘Seven Ages of Man’ speech from As
You Like It and community responses to a series of online questions about Care
during the Covid 19 lockdown. Members of
the community submitted video footage which was woven together with Holly’s
poetry into this beautiful commemorative film of an emotional time.
This project was created by
Imaginarium Theatre for the Heart of Glass ‘Compendium of Care’ and was
supported by Knowsley council, the Shakespeare North Playhouse and Arts Council
England.
To coincide with the
release of this poem and film, Imaginarium are also re-releasing All the
World’s A Stage; originally commissioned in 2016 to commemorate Shakespeare’s
400th anniversary, it was filmed in various locations around Prescot
town centre and is another great example of how a community can come together
to create a moving piece of art that can stand the test of time.
