Se Gæst | The Guest

When a stranger washes up on the shores of England, a community in turmoil is forced to confront their attitudes towards tolerance, survival, blame, nostalgia, and the changing world around them.

Through dance, live music, and story telling Se Gæst | The Guest examines who we are, where we come from, and where we are going as a group of people who currently call England home today.

This work has been built following a series of interviews and discussions with multiple communities across England who have shared their nuanced, often conflicting relationships with national identity.

Contains some use of strong language, and visual/spoken descriptions related to death and dying. Reccomended age: 12+ (parental discretion advised).

This event will include pre-show performances by Mouths of the Tyne Community Choir, North Tyneside Youth Dance, and Falling on Your Feet.
