Se Gæst | The Guest
A new production by Anthony Lo-Giudice
St. Peter's Chapel, Auckland Palace, DL14 7NR
Sunday 2nd November
Matinee: 2pm / Evening: 7pm
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, puppetry, and storytelling 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.
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.
Written and choreographed by acclaimed choreographer and theatre-maker Anthony Lo-Giudice, with performances from a dynamic cast and original live music.
Running time: Approx. 70 minutes
Age guidance: 12+ (contains discussions connected to death)
