A Strange Wild Song

Friday 22-11-2013 20:00

APPROX RUNNING TIME: 60 minutes

Minimum Age Recommendation: 11

In northern France in the Second World War, three children encounter a lost American soldier. When the soldier’s camera is unearthed decades later, his grandson searches for meaning through the photographs inside. He discovers a surreal world of childhood and imagination, as fragments of a half-developed war explode into the present-day.

Critically-acclaimed Rhum and Clay present a darkly comic story told in their visually unique and highly inventive style. Accompanied by an original musical score, this Lecoq-trained company uses a mixture of stunning imagery and absurdist humour to tell an unforgettably touching story about finding light in the darkest of places.

"Without a doubt one of the best pieces of theatre out there at this year’s festival." Festival Journal

"An accomplished piece of physical theatre from the young pretenders to the Jacques Lecoq crown." Fringe Review

“Irresistibly daft … oddball comedy and genuine pathos” The Herald
