TWA

A performance that weaves together memoir and myth in a blend of theatrical storytelling and digital and live drawing response. Award-winning writer Annie George and visual artist Flore Gardner unwind contrasting stories about women who are silenced or censored and who discover other means of expression besides the voice to convey their truths. A journey between parallel worlds, guided by dark poetic text, startling imagery, music and sound design, Twa is a multi-layered experience which explores how the creative act can become an act of resistance.  Edinburgh Fringe 2018, Traverse Theatre -  May 2019
