Red Bike is an intimate, movement‑driven play that follows a young person navigating a town transforming faster than they can comprehend. Told through memory, motion, and the rhythm of a bicycle, the play traces The Kid’s journey through shifting streets, storefronts, neighborhoods, and the larger questions of money, power, childhood, and belonging. As the world around them is bought, sold, and renamed, Red Bike asks what we hold onto—and what we lose—when the place that raised us begins to disappear.
Staged inside the Berger Park Coach House, this production offers audiences a close‑up theatrical experience where language, movement, and community shape the storytelling, capturing the raw immediacy of being eleven years old.
Red Bike opens Friday and runs Thursdays and Fridays at 7pm and Saturdays at 3pm through October 24. Performance dates and ticket information are available at: https://events.humanitix.com/red-bike-by-caridad-svich-btc
