Description

A performance grounded in friendship and a desire for objects to predict the future. Two performers construct worlds using voice and movement, alongside paper props, miracle fish and trees that look like women's legs. The work began as an exchange of letters between two friends and has grown into a tender, sincere, awkward and absurd reflection on the inner and outer worlds of two people, and the intimacy they find between the human and non-human. Moving from personal to conceptual, this is an ode to embracing uncertainty.

Experimental masterpiece. Moving, sincere, heartfelt, inspired. Thought provoking and fringe. If you want a creative devised piece unfolding before your eyes.- check it out. The performers are gentle, intentional, and gripping. I trust anything they create will be worth the watch!
