         Butterfly         Snails + Ketchup

Butterfly

Synopsis:
Butterfly is a kite maker. Her life has been shattered following the departure of her lover. Alone and grief-stricken Butterfly decides to conjure a whole new world for herself in her head, as happy and as close to perfection as her imagination can get. But as Butterfly flits more and more completely into this imaginary place her beauty begins to fade and her tale takes a further, tragic turn. This striking adaptation of Madame Butterfly explores themes of love and loss, and of hope and disappointment, in Ramesh Meyyappan's celebrated visually poetic and multi-disciplinary style. Complemented by Gavin Glover's expressive puppets this unique interpretation creates a lush, textured and innovative piece of visual theatre within which age-old themes are articulated afresh for contemporary audiences.

Snails + Ketchup

Synopsis:
Inspired by Italo Calvino's 'the Baron in the Trees', SNAILS & KETCHUP is the darkly comic tale of a dysfunctional family and follows a son taking to the trees to live an arboreal existence, escaping his brutal home environment for the solace of the forest. Powerfully told through solo performer Ramesh Meyyappan's masterful storytelling, it uses physical performance, an ingenious aerial set and aerial choreography, animation and a complementary live score to poignantly unfold the lives of a young boy and his sibling, from the traumatic birth of the twins to a typical family dinner. . . Ramesh's outstanding command of his own physicality and extensive imagination allow him to embody the four members of this quirky family. He reminds us that despite familial love being unconditional, it is sometimes impossible to co-exist with those we hold dear.
