THE BIG BLUE (ORIGINATE)
There's nothing but blue for days.
A crew of emerging artists navigate our vessel to deep space, the deep sea and beyond. Inspired by messages in bottles, signals to aliens and hellos to the unknown – The Big Blue is a new performance that invites its audience to take a seat and have a covid-safe encounter with what lies beyond the horizon.
Working with wireless headphone technology, this show is the outcome of a three month workshop process of collaboration between eleven early career artists. Complete your departure card, put on your headphones, and immerse yourself in a journey of discovery – what secrets will the Big Blue yield?
ABOUT ORIGINATE:
Originate is where ideas start. An ensemble of emerging theatre makers collaborates to create a new show about the here and now. Guided by director Nick Atkins, the group moved through a workshop process that generated a new performance from the ground up. A performance based on the thoughts, beliefs, hopes and fears of the ensemble.
