ARTISTIC POLICY
Vanishing Point combines inventive design, projection, music and animation to create landscapes in which remarkable stories can exist. The company aims to imagine and realise exciting, unusual theatre with a strong international perspective.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘A world-class piece of international theatre.’ The Scotsman ()

‘A beguiling piece of theatre that is sad, funny and heartbreakingly humane.’ The Guardian ()

‘Scotland’s most international theatre company.’ The Herald

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Re-imagined in a dark, dirty, absurd, visually rich and cruelly comic production. Featuring brand new live music from A Band called Quinn and cutting edge projection design. (90 mins, no interval, 12 on stage, 20 on the road.)

A major international co-production, inspired by Maurice Maeterlinck’s astonishing play, Interior. Utterly hypnotic, deeply mysterious and powerfully intense, Interiors is about sounds, silence, the path of fate and the darkness outside the window. (75 mins, no interval. 8 on stage, 17 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
A major new international co-production is planned for 2011.

WRAP-AROUND
Wrap-around activity varies with each show, but can include workshops based on improvisation, devising or working with music. Pre- and post-show discussions with the cast and/or creative team can also be arranged.

RECENT INTERNATIONAL WORK
2009 Italy ()
2006 Sri Lanka (), Kosovo, Macedonia ()
