Four Afloat Productions in association with
STAMP at THE EDGE® presents
DOUBLE SHOT: PASSAGE

A unique opportunity to get artists and audiences working together. STAMP takes an original production that is in development, gives the company two opportunities to show their work in front of a live audience – with time between each showing to refine the work.

"Graham’s poetically eloquent script flows like molten silver." Liz Mullen in THE STAGE on CRIVELLIS GARDEN

A small boat is suspended in a high sea when four women clamber aboard. They hide from the truth, push and kick, insult and lie. Lena will not sing, Rebecca will not share, Jude will not speak and Safar may die. Will they sink or swim in this sea of stories? These are taboo tales for troubled times.

PASSAGE is a multi-media performance which combines stunning visual images with text, film and physical theatre. The text has been inspired by a life-sized boat sculpture from the Brazilian artist Ana Maria Pacheco. Weaving themes of migration, identity, truth and reconciliation this is a new collaboration between Fiona Graham, Lauren Jackson and Stephen Bain.

The two double shot workshops will enable these practitioners to experiment with text and develop a visual / physical performance language for production.

This is your chance to give feedback and be part of the development process for this exciting new work.
