Se Gæst | The Guest
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.
- Booking essential
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
