Selkie

Synopsis:
It has been a long time since Mac left his house, and longer since he was last home. When two strangely familiar figures appear at his door claiming to be spiritual guides, Mac is forced to remember the stories from his childhood that he would rather forget, and decide what they mean for himself . Selkie uses elements of traditional Japanese Noh theatre to retell the story of the well known figure from Scottish mythology. Looking into the relationship between myth, place, and history, the piece also explores how storytelling is used to explain, as well as distract from traumatic events.
