CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A journey through a landscape a few years from now, a show about small acts of rebellion and where they lead. Featuring an extraordinary seven-piece band from Kosovo.

A strange, beautiful and ever so slightly twisted show with performance, extraordinary design and anarchic live music.

A collaboration with Douglas Maxwell, a story about a boy who thinks he is turning into animals.

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
A spectacular adaptation of Jan Svankmajer’s darkly satirical film about a childless couple trying to have a baby. When the husband finds a piece of wood in the shape of a baby, his wife believes the child is real. But soon the wooden child does take life and his voracious appetite proves insatiable. A co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland in association with Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow.

WRAP-AROUND
Vanishing Point’s workshops are based on each production. Idea-to-stage demonstrations incorporating pre- and post-show forums, focusing on the development of an idea through improvisation and play to its formation as a piece of theatre.
