NEW PRODUCTION COMING SOON- SEALSKIN

We have been working on a research and development for our new production, SealSkin and did a work in progress sharing at Shakespeare North in January 2023.

 

In a village far away, by the harsh and wild landscape of the sea, a fisherman steals a Selkie’s skin… A story of witchcraft, power and grief envelop in a battle of longing and belonging.

 

The full production will premiere at the Liverpool Everyman in June/July 2023, full details coming soon.

 

SealSkin will be available for touring from autumn 2023

MEMORIA

Memoria is a poetic, visceral exploration of memory and nostalgia. What do past lives leave behind? What lives within walls and what lives on in our collective present?

 

It was an immersive, physical piece set in a beautiful hidden gem, the Albert Walker Hall at the Linacre Methodist Mission and made using voices from the local community.
Built in 1909 it has been recently restored thanks to Heritage Lottery funding, Memoria was the first event in the new space and was created for Physical Fest 2021.

 

“This was a beautiful, moving, and evocative journey through the time of a building, its people, and their emotions which brought out my own tears of sadness and joy.” North West End ★★★★★

 

MEMORIA CAN TRANSFER TO YOUR SPACE OR PLACE, WITH A PROCESS OF WORKING WITH MEMORIES FROM YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

BEYOND BELIEF

Loss…immortality and our digital souls

 

What would happen if you could live forever? If you could bring your loved one back to life and resurrect their digital soul? Beyond Belief is a powerful and moving journey into the unnerving future of life and death in our social media obsessed, technology blinkered society. With their trademark, playful physical style Tmesis explore how we cope with loss in the digital age and how we won’t ever let Elvis die.

HAPPY HOUR

Happy Hour combines the company’s trademark physicality with comedy, music, and text from long-term collaborator Chris Fittock. It is a commission from Liverpool’s Unity Theatre.

 

The workers on Level 3 are racing against the clock to reach their quota of Smiley Faces, but are they really happy enough? A poignant, fast paced, comedy exploring our 21st century obsession with happiness and success. Can we learn to be happy? And can our emotions be bought and sold? The ‘happiness industry’ would have us think so…

 

‘Expertly choreographed…laugh out loud comedy’ The Stage ★★★★
