Description
A castaway is saved from the surging seas. Conversation is sparse and he comes face to face with a startling kind of hook-up culture. An absurdist fable begins as a story of rescue and unfolds as an unsettling dissection of dreams and desire. Have you ever grappled with dating apps? This theatrical world wildly spins a different kind of net that has us caught – hook, line and sinker! 'Theatre-making of the highest level' ***** (List). 'Ingenious, liberating, brilliant' ***** (StageWhispers.com.au). 'Inventive staging, hilariously physical performances' ***** (InReview.com.au). 'Beautiful, committed, evolved' (ArtsReview.com.au).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Just loved this show. It’s so quirky, clever and totally spellbinding. Use of props and language by 3 brilliant actors. Wow!

This was a delight to watch! The cast of 3 were brilliant, taking us on a tale of fishes, rituals and desires! The set, clever use of props and movement akin to poetry in motion kept us spellbound for an hour, even humouring us at times! 6/5 - you must see this!

I believe I understood what I saw yet I truly don't know.
What I know is that it is an incredibly performed act, with a choreography that sells the scenes. I was mesmerized throughout.

This show is what the festival is all about. Original, innovative, well acted and a choreography all of its own. So glad we made it the first show of our day!

Such good storytelling by skilled and joyful actors! Greta story and use of bodies, space and theatricals elements. Highly recommend this one, one of my favorites of this year!

I absolutely loved this show. The performers were just amazing, with precision physicality and grounded intention that shone through the whole piece. The writing was excellent as well, keeping me guessing throughout, which I always appreciate.
This is a great show that I’m recommending to everyone.

A strangely compelling piece of very inventive physical theatre.

I really enjoyed this. Weird, atmospheric, beautiful, quirky. It was one of my favourite fringe experiences. Very lyrical and strangely powerful. I loved the minimal script, and I found the story surprisingly profound. I could have done without the silly baguette/willy imagery... but otherwise a huge YES recommendation from me.

Some of the best performers you’ll see in the Fringe. Amazing sound design and clever set and one of the highlights for me this year.
The description of the show didn’t match my understanding of the narrative but this is powerful and unusual theatre and worth seeing

Excellent and hilarious. I loved the pace, the acting is enigmatic, thoughtful and clever set design. Deliciously weird, horny and funny.

Brilliantly written and performed, a great piece of theatre. The set and costume design is also a highlight. Even though its a matinee show it fully managed to draw me into an absurd other world. Expect the unexpected as this show is full of mystery and surprises.
