SLOW TIDE

Alone while surrounded, confined in open air, two castaway figures explore a sea of contradictions in Slow Tide. Stepping away from the controlled world of the theatre, Luke Murphy invites audiences to step into the open as two performers brave the world around them on oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. A meditation on emerging, falling and floating, creating an otherworldly physical poem around themes of time, place, isolation and perseverance.
