A storm in a tea up, the cloud that we all carry, a boat-sized piece of one person’s inner ocean...
In limbo between life and death, a lone traveller crosses a vast ocean of memories and past hopes, accompanied by their own personal storm.
All at Sea is an outdoor, non-verbal physical theatre show performed in a moving rowboat, complete with its own rainstorm . It tours outdoor festivals and events, which includes having informal conversations with local people at each tour location which are then mixed into that days soundtrack for the show.
