Dumfries and Galloway Arts Live kicks off its 2017 programme of year-round performing arts with a visually engrossing piece of international theatre.
Brought to the region by multi-award-winning Tortoise in a Nutshell, in association with Danish new writing centre Teater Katapult, Fisk tells the story of a man and a fish and the unexpected impact they have upon one another.
Fisk (Fish in Danish) is a new devised piece of theatre which delves into how we manage struggles with our own mental health, with the support of others, and comes to Dumfries Theatre Royal on Tuesday, 21 February at 7.30pm.
Weaving together a rich tapestry of puppetry, movement and intricate design, alongside an evocative original soundtrack, the piece draws audiences into an immersive marine world.
Examining themes of depression, dependence and desolation. Fisk, is an exploration of the lengths we can go to in order to escape from ourselves, yet also finds joy in even the deepest and darkest depths. The show is performed in both Danish and English and is recommended for ages 14 and above.
Founded in 2010, Tortoise in a Nutshell is a visual theatre company based in Edinburgh with a steadily growing international profile and reputation, already presenting its work in Austria, Denmark, Mexico and Switzerland. The company first appeared at manipulate in 2011, presenting The Last Miner.
Pesented in association with Macrobert Arts Centre, Stirling, the event is supported by Dumfries and Galloway Arts Live and takes place on Tuesday, 21 February, in the Theatre Royal, Dumfries, at 7.30pm.
