Live performers, sceneric animations, familial aberrations, mispronunciations, misbehaving shadows, epic battles, colour versus black & white, light versus dark, good versus evil, children versus the devil. What side are you on?
We’re very excited to be developing some new work at the National Theatre Studio.
This is a project that will really develop a small strand that we introduced in Delirium – that of animation. We’ll be working again with Paddy Molloy and really exploring simple but deeply imaginative ways of incorporating projection/film/animation from the ground up as a character element of the story-telling process.
On top of that, this is a project for families – dark to be sure, but really dealing with all those elements that make a great children’s story; darkness, myth, heroics and redemption.
We will also be working again with designer Simon Daw, who designed our beautiful Astronaut set.
