Carrizo and her cast of physical theatre performers present a non-narrative piece, taking the audience into a studio, a museum and a maternity ward to trigger disquieting reflections on motherhood.

Running from: Wed 24 - Sat 27 Jan 2018.

Peeping Tom evoke a dreamlike universe, at once disturbing and oddly humorous. They explore an archetypal figure familiar to us all, in a production of astonishing physicality that defies characterisation.

Suffering, desire, fear, life and death are unexpectedly intertwined in Mother, which shies away from neither the subconscious nor the stuff of nightmares, reflecting the unstable atmosphere of a David Lynch film. The soundscape has a cinematic quality, sometimes amplified to disconcerting effect. It is matched by surreal visual imagery and choreography of rare imagination where bodies bend, flip, contort and isolate.
