Glacier
TrAPPED 2008-09
Imagine a place where thoughts are overheard and dreams are monitored; where intimate letters get scanned and a warped sense of reality rules over reason. In our surveillance-obsessed times, TrAPPED explores notions of personal freedom. Unfolding like a film, TrAPPED tells the stories of five characters in a surreal Kafkaesque landscape. Subtly, a commentary emerges on the CCTV-laden world of today and the bygone era of the German Democratic Republic. A tragicomic world, both poetic and dark, is evoked through original music, spoken word, contemporary mime and striking choreography that ingeniously uses set and props (The Scotsman on More Grim(m) Desires). Previewed at the Mercury Theatre Colchester and the New Wolsey Ipswich, before touring in Spring and Autumn 2009 to theatres including: LABAN and The Place, London, Riley Theatre Leeds; Merlin Theatre Frome; Traverse Theatre Edinburgh, Lakeside Theatre Nottingham; Lincoln Arts Centre; ARC Stockton-on-Tees and The Junction, Cambridge. Nine days of consecutive performances at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Glacier 2007-08 Emotionally charged and uniquely virtuosic, seven outstanding performers dance along the edge of melting glaciers and broken ice floes. Dealing with the issues of global warming and environmental change, Glacier paints a glistening and sometimes disturbing picture of society reflected on an icy surface which is gradually thawing away, beautifully distorting the mirrored image.
