A collaboration between UK based producers, State of Emergency and South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma of Vuyani Dance Theatre, performed by a company of five dancers from different cultural backgrounds, with an original score by Steve Marshall.

Inspired by the similarities between the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site on England’s south coast and the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, this new work is an exploration and reflection on two very different places, united through a shared history of the rocks on which they stand.

“The choreography resonates with ancient traditions, belief systems and mythologies.”
Gregory Maqoma

Listed as one of The Guardian’s top 100 books of all time, Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet was discovered in a trunk in his apartment in Lisbon after his death in 1935. Part novel, part memoir, part philosophical meditation on the futility of living, Pessoa’s Livro defies definition and endures as a testament to modernist writing.

Contains scenes of a sexual nature and strong language.

Translated and adapted for the stage by Mark O’Thomas.

Directed by Nicholai La Barrie.

Duration: 1 hr
