Land Under Wave

Immersive and interactive story telling which entertained and shed light on a range of topics. Highlight was define the fine salmon leap! And who doesn't love a show when you throw pine cones as a voting system. Not to be missed!

These enchanting storytellers are rich with wit, creative impulse, sensitivity, and a deep love for the beyond-human world. Weaving together themes of myth, animism, environmental justice, and queer identity, this show is everything that our world needs. I cried when the salmon returned home. May the stories and messages in this show spread far and wide. Thank you for a beautiful performance!

Enchanting. So immersive that you really feel like you entered the world of the fairy people. The music gave me goosebumps.

Just beautiful, very powerful and moving storytelling - probably my favourite thing I’ve seen at the fringe this year

Brillant and entertaining story telling with audience interaction, well worth watching.

charming and lovely and captivating. Felt like a soft lullaby with three very adept performers / storytellers who held the space with ease and warmth. I saw it on a whim and would see it again!

Had the pleasure of catching this show tonight. If you’re in Edinburgh, Young Edinburgh Storyteller’s “Land Under Wave” is an absolute must-see! Beautiful music, magical stories, and wonderfully interactive. Totally captivating and didn’t want it to end!

3 storytellers immerse you in their underworld universe with heartwarming stories about queer fairyfolks. The musical ambiance suits perfectly the mood. The spoken words are gently intense enough to make you drift out of reality and you will want to be part of the Fantasy world. The themes are contemporary but softly distilled so the mental images and captivation is not disturbed
A real joy

Simply Magical

Land Under Wave is a beautiful, engaging and relevant comment on themes which are demanding of our attention. Wonderful old stories told in the most entertaining and thought provoking way by three very talented young storytellers. The support they show for one another and their easy chemistry with their audience, combined with a stunning command of language makes it totally absorbing.
Definitely the best hour of my Fringe.

Brilliant show exploring the expansive and transformative love intrinsic in queerness through compelling stories and music. This wonderful witty trio of young storytellers will accompany you on a playful journey in the land under wave to sense the mysteries and beauties of our interconnectedness beyond the nature-culture divide. A beautiful invitation to free the richness in ourselves and of the world, and to embrace the involvement and change that all living bodies and forms hold and need to take care of. Not to be missed!

Amazing show, at once gripping and calming, a beautiful marriage of spoken word and folk music underscore. The three performers bring such honesty and talent to their roles, and the lighting design is woven well into the show.

A lovely skilful show. I was gripped. Loved how clear it was that the performers had joy in their stories.

Intriguing stories told without any unnecessary fuzz, concentrating on the beautiful art of spoken word. Lovely idea of how they include the audience and of waving together their different stories!

A must see show for all! Absolutely incredible musical storytelling, combining elements of traditional folk tales with timeless, yet urgent concerns such as queer identity and desire, post-industrial society, and the need to respect the wild on its own terms. This show is simultaneously gentle and electric, weaving a captivating, interactive experience that forces the audience to acknowledge the harmful separation between human society, and the richness of the world around us that we often fail to see. Each storyteller brings their own unique style and tone, with their stories wonderfully connected through themes such as violence and forgiveness, taking-on and casting-off of forms, and the commonality of living things.

A throughly entertaining and engaging performance from 3 talented story tellers. The synthesis of music and tales will transport you to another world - not to be missed.

Magical hour spent with these three wonderful storytellers. Fusion of light, music and the spoken word create an enthralling experience, taking tales from ages past and highlighting their relevance in the modern world.

Amazingly performed by the young storytellers. The old stories is given so much life and love. I enjoyed every second of the show!

Thoroughly enjoyed this amazing show. Three incredible stories performed by talented young storytellers. Not to be missed, it transports you to another world! Go to this show :)

Very entertaining hour listening to some unique stories that, while they are all different in style and content, contain similar themes that hold together to create an enjoyable show. The music and lighting all add to the atmosphere, and the way that the audience 'votes' for their winner is much more fun than just doing a show of hands. Recommended.

A great show for lovers of folklore – immersive and inventive, it plays with the boundary between audience and performer, blending music and spoken word to create a vibrant, otherworldly experience.

Beautifully told stories that tie together spectacularly (I won't spoil it) made even better by the music. A fun and interactive performance that I highly recommend!
