SealSkin:
In a village far away, by the wild landscape of the sea, every full moon the Selkies appear.
As they peel away their seal skin, they dance freely in the moonlight, as humans. One such night a fisherman discovers their secret and, stealing away a Selkie’s skin, our story begins.
A battle of longing and belonging, SealSkin is a powerful story of betrayal, power, otherness and loss. Combining Tmesis’ trademark playful and highly skilled physicality, this new show is presented as part of Physical Fest 2023 and features live music from acoustic duo Me and Deboe.
REVIEWS AND PRESS:
Arts City Liverpool: 4.5 stars
‘Visually and aurally it’s a real beauty; atmospherically lit and simply but effectively staged using a combination of basic props and draped, rippling fabric.’
North West End:
‘This physical transformation is enhanced by the simplest of props that are re-imagined in a variety of contexts with great dexterity and application from the cast.’
