STORIES FROM THE PRE-WORLD

Hugh Lupton, Ben Haggarty and Rick Wilson invite you to venture with them through time in search of our ancient ancestors: they invite you to enter a world that exists just below where you are standing, just above your head, just under your skin.
In this extraordinary work the Company of Storytellers use spoken word and living sound to reveal these islands as they were before metal, before agriculture: a landscape of ancient oak forests, salmon filled estuaries, wolves and herds of wild horses. A place where the boundaries between animals, humans and spirits blur.
Stark and provocative stories and music played on specially created instruments of stone, bone and wood, summon an utterly new vision of the land we inhabit today.
This is storytelling at its best: fresh and vigorous work that will carry your imagination back 10,000 years to the pre-world, where the concerns of our ancestors create surprising resonances with the concerns of the contemporary world.

This show is for outdoor performance only.

It is going out at £700.
