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.
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 ★★★★★
