NDT Autumn 2025 Season

18 July 2025

Collapse, resistance, and what comes after.

From the rivers of Latin America to the banks of the Thames, spanning tropical-punk and electro-folk, a season taking you into the depths of the wreckage and back again.

New Diorama Theatre today announces the on sale of two brand new productions from trailblazing theatre companies for Autumn 2025.

Following the multi-award-winning REWIND (Guardian best shows of 2024), Ephemeral Ensemble return to NDT with brand new show UPROOTED — a tropical-punk, ecofeminist, rallying cry inspired by the voices of displaced peoples and frontline environmental defenders in Latin America and beyond.

Then, continuing NDT’s track record for pioneering new musicals, Precipice by Timelapse plunges into the 400-year fallout of a biomedical catastrophe, set against the sound of an original electro-folk score. Collaboratively written with six creators, including an Olivier award-winner, this project was borne of the venue’s post pandemic shutdown Intervention01, to explore new ways of making work for the future. Tracing rising tides as power fails and two timelines converge in a single flat — where yesterday’s mistakes become tomorrow’s reckonings.

Speaking about the season, Head of Programme Emma Clark says: “During an intensely challenging moment for independent ensembles, we are so proud to be presenting the work of Ephemeral Ensemble and Timelapse, two bold and distinctive companies with fiercely passionate visions for what is possible within theatre making and the wider world. These poetic, humane, and wildly theatrical new shows dive headfirst into the systems we are all entangled in, pushing past collapse toward hopeful, rewilded futures.” Uprooted Hero Image
