Venue:
Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh

A collaboration for EIF with Dot Theatre from Istanbul and the Lyceum in Edinburgh, featuring a mix of Scottish and Turkish actors with score and sound effects created live on stage by Oguz.

The productions bold cartoon-like approach saw the world of Beringer (Robert Jack) gradually diminish as platform after platform and a series of narrowing framing portals closed down his space, in the final image he is left as sole human in a world of chaos. Winner of CATS award for best production in Scotland 17
