ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

7:84

Okay, so 7:84 was a theatre company that existed a few years ago. They made plays and performances that were all about telling stories about things that were happening in the world around us.

The name 7:84 might seem a bit confusing, but it actually has a pretty simple meaning. It comes from a statistic that was talked about a lot at the time the company was formed. The statistic said that 7% of the population owned 84% of the wealth in the UK.

The people who started the 7:84 theatre company wanted to use their performances to draw attention to this kind of inequality and to help make the world a fairer place. They also wanted to create performances that lots of different people could enjoy and feel included in, which meant that they often used different languages and styles to make sure everyone could understand what was happening.

All in all, 7:84 was a really cool company that did lots of good work to help people think about the world we live in and how we can make it a better place.
