CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
The internationally celebrated Lone Twin Theatre brings to life the simple story of Alice Bell, a fictional character born into a fictional conflict. In a tale for our times, Alice seeks happiness in a divided land, finding love and companionship but at a terrible cost. Part musical, part fairy-tale, l offers a portrait of life as an act of hope, life as something to sing and dance about. (75 mins, 5 on stage, 8 on the road.)
By Lone Twin. Two performers, dressed as cowboys and blindfolded, dance a slow line dance for 12 hours. In silence, the two cowboys listen to each other's footsteps, keeping in perfect time. Over the course of the day audiences spontaneously join the dancing as the faltering, exhausted, cowboys continue. (12 hours, 2 on stage, 3 on the road.)
By Lone Twin. This performance attempts, for the first time, to bring together the entire body of Lone Twin’s work in one 90 minute show. The heart-shaped topography of Brussels, the shore of Lake Michigan, the entire road network of central Paris, the North Sea, the Artic Circle, the vineyards of Western Australia, the blue skies of Lisbon’s July and most of Switzerland will be revisited in a final attempt to make some sense of the world around us. (Under 90 mins, 2 on stage, 3 on the road.)
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
(title tbc) The second piece in a planned trilogy, following . This second piece takes a short dramatic event that in some way reveals a wider portrait of the central protagonist. Perhaps as short as three minutes, the event will be repeated many times during the piece – from differing perspectives and in quite different performance modes.
A Lone Twin project for children promises to offer a unique experience for a young audience. Based around the notion of a mysterious beast living in their town, the work is aimed at empowering children; they become the keepers of a magical secret, a secret that confuses and confounds the adult world. The development and resulting premiere of will be taking place in summer/autumn 2008.
A large-scale public project whereby members of the public collaborate with a professional speech writer to create proclamations based on their knowledge and experience of a particular location. Each highly subjective and personal speech will be given as a public performance and sited in the location to which it refers. Speeches premieres at the Barbican, London in autumn 2008.
