Public Colour Me Human is a theatre experience celebrating

every human being’s shared and collective humanity. In

the vast life valleys of the universe, Earth was formed;

and afterward, humans were born; with varying

perceptions of creation. We populate the Earth through

our quest for survival. We divide into groups; we are

harmful; we are compassionate; we are diverse; we die

and live on; we continue to inspire the world. Colour

Me Human is a celebration of humanity; told through

movement, music and visuals.
