FISK, authored by Tortoise in a Nutshell and Ann Sofie Oxenvad, directed by Ross Mackay, is about a tiny boat, which is tossed through rolling waves and thundering storms, like a speck amidst the immense turbulent seas. Steadily rowing forward into the nothingness is a fisherman, driven by despair, sailing to nowhere with all his worldly possessions. He looks out as the darkness looms and prepares himself to leap… But before he can jump out, something else jumps in; a mass of color thrashing about the tiny boat. This uninvited guest has finally broken through the surface to discover what lies above. Fisk is a story of a man and a fish, and the unexpected impact they have upon one another.
Weaving together a rich tapestry of puppetry, movement and intricate design, alongside an evocative original soundtrack, the piece draws audiences into an immersive marine world. Examining themes of depression, dependence and desolation, Fisk is an exploration of the lengths we can go to in order to escape from ourselves, yet also finds joy in even the deepest and darkest depths. The show will be performed on Wednesday, July 5, at 8 p.m. in Nikola Đurković Cultural Centre.
THE LOST THINGS authored by Oliver Emanuel and Tortoise in a Nutshell, directed by Ross Mackay is a story a boy, who falls and finds himself in a dark and terrifying new world. It’s a world of lost things: car keys, wedding rings, dads, and a mysterious girl who is building an amazing machine. Performed in a unique dome structure, The Lost Things is about losing things and finding things you didn’t even know you were looking for; a dark fairy-tale set in a fantastical world, where nothing is quite as it seems. Created by the award-winning theater company Tortoise in a Nutshell and writer Oliver Emanuel (Dragon, Titus, The Day I swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish), The Lost Things was originally commissioned by Imaginate for their 2015 international festival of theater and dance for young audiences. The show will be performed two times on Friday, July 7, at 6 and 8 p.m. in Nikola Đurković Cultural Centre.
Cast in both performances are Alex Bird and Arran Howie.
