08 Oct LOOK AHEAD: The Hunters Grimm from Teatro Vivo
Breaking news: halloween isn’t just for children!
Presenting The Hunters Grimm, a promenade performance designed for adults…
The famous Brothers Grimm need your help. They need stories, more stories than they can gather themselves. You must search the dark streets of Deptford for new tales, where you may come across an anarchic frog convinced he is a prince, give beauty advice to an ageing stepmother, engage in a foot amputation, dance with the musicians of Bremen and participate in an adventure to cure nightmares. Along the way you’ll hear familiar and strange stories of love, death, poverty, longing and sausages.
The Hunters Grimm will be a theatrical journey for grown-ups inspired by the Household Tales of the Brothers Grimm and is for the brave and curious only!
In their ninth year, Teatro Vivo transform much loved stories into theatrical adventures, collaborating with communities and audiences to turn everyday environments into magical worlds. For fearless, spontaneous and responsive theatre, Teatro Vivo are like no other theatre company with their signature brand of “theatre where you least expect it”.
By working with a community chorus, they embed themselves in the localities in which they perform, as well as offering those involved professional training and performance opportunities.
It is this commitment to local audiences and people that has seen them create Shakespeare in supermarkets, search for Odysseus in the streets and shops of Deptford and take audiences from all around the country down a rabbit hole to Wonderland.
Please note that this is a promenade performance – all hunters are requested to wear a stout pair of boots and clothes suited to the climate for who knows where these stories will take us…
