Astounding. A blessing. Moving. Emotional. Challenging. Entertaining. Stimulating. Perfectly written. Angry. Peaceful. Beginning middle and beautiful end. I wish it never did.

Lemn Sissay, poet.

A journey in the dark for one person at a time.
“I wanted to investigate how far it was possible to create a narrative that existed only in the audience member’s head. I wanted to play with the idea of fear and move beyond it. I wanted to use no words in the dark, strip away the visual and explore our other senses – especially sound and smell. Smell has been important in many Quarantine projects: I made a smell design for See-Saw, and later, Frank. The smells and sensations of food were as important as the visual in EatEat.
I planted various objects in the dark space, specific and evocative for me, another story for the audience: grass, smell of violets, a jacket that smelled of the stables, a velvet box… These acted only as abstract triggers: what the audience choose to engage with and where they took their narratives were entirely their own choice. A performer inhabited the darkness, guided or played with the visitor when necessary.
something… has developed and changed through its performances. The physical shape is different in every location, and I have become gradually more interested in the challenges of its construction. The piece has a different meaning for me now.”
