SealSkin

Our new performance SealSkin opened at Physical Fest 2023 at the Liverpool Everyman and is available for national and international touring.

Sealskin is an old selkie tale of the sea. Every full moon the Selkies appear, peeling away their seal skin, dancing freely in the moonlight. One night a fisherman discovers their secret, and we see the betrayal and consequences that follow.

Exploring ideas of belonging, otherness and home, Sealskin combines Tmesis’ trademark playful and highly skilled physicality, puppetry, storytelling, incredible projection design and live original music from acoustic duo Me and Deboe.

‘Tmesis created an ambitious and innovative production that was loved by audiences when it premiered at the Everyman. Sealskin is a mix of physical performance and stunning visuals, funny and thought-provoking at the same time. Live music from Me + Deboe elevates the show, bringing depth and emotion to the production.’
