Alice Bell

Synopsis:
In a tale for our times, Alice Bell is a story about a fictional character born into a fictional conflict, told with the aid of songs, dance, and ukuleles. Alice seeks happiness in a divided land, but finds love and companionship at a terrible cost. Part musical, part fairytale, and staged with a stripped down aesthetic without props, Alice Bell offers a portrait of life as an act of hope; life as something to sing and dance about. Performed by an ensemble of five artists, this is the company's first approach to narrative-based theatre

Festival, The

Synopsis:
trilogy ends with the effervescent the Festival, which provides a much more mundane but potentially personally painful portrayal of catastrophe. a woman and a man meet at a festival in Australia and plan to return and meet again the next year. Circumstances change for one of them, but it does not for the other. their two lives meet and separate and we, the audience, are treated to the songs that accompanied that story along the way.

Nine Years

Synopsis:
In 1997, Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters, better known as Lone Twin, set off on an epic journey on folding bicycles. Since then, they have been halfway round the world. Nine Years is the fragmented story of that journey, a latter day quest in which these two quirky modern Odysseuses travel the world joining up the map and making interactions and connections.
