Across Earth and Mars, a father and daughter are separated by more than distance. Book La Distance tickets at the Young Vic, London, from 22 January to 13 February 2027.

Written and directed by Tiago Rodrigues, this critically acclaimed production arrives in London following its celebrated world premiere at the Festival d’Avignon.

Set in 2077, as Earth faces environmental collapse, La Distance tells a powerful story of love and separation across space, as a father and daughter are divided between Earth and a new life on Mars.

Performed in French with English surtitles, this breathtaking and deeply human play is a strictly limited engagement at the Young Vic.

What is La Distance about?

“We no longer believe it’s possible to change the world. We believe that we need to change worlds.”

In a future shaped by environmental and societal crisis, humanity looks beyond Earth for survival. As part of this exodus, a young woman leaves for Mars, while her father remains behind.

Across millions of miles, their relationship is tested by distance, time and the unknown, as each struggles to reconcile love with the reality of a divided future.

La Distance is a profoundly moving exploration of connection, loss, hope and the enduring bond between parent and child, brought to life through Tiago Rodrigues’s intimate and inventive staging.
