See The New Mural At The Junction
Most recently The Junction has undergone an exciting update, with a brand new mural by Anwesha Paul, an illustrator based in India. Adorning the interior walls of The Junction, Anwesha drew inspiration from ’theatre’ itself.
The walls have been designed to represent some of the most important elements of theatre, the performer, the audience, the stage and the backstage. The illustrations depict scenes of performances, designs of French theatre, the audience and more. There is emotion in every detail, and Anwesha hopes that viewers will be able to connect to the artworks and be inspired while entering the Junction.
With this new wash of colour, the theatre is excited to announce its upcoming September programme. Make sure to book your tickets in advance to ensure a spot in the audience.
