Nine Avalanches

by STELLA GREEN directed by POLINA KALININA
26 July 2024 13:00

by STELLA GREEN directed by POLINA KALININA

 

Only forwards. Only onwards. Everything horizons.

An impending avalanche. At the foot of a mountain, a woman stands to deliver a eulogy.

Nine Avalanches is a raging and darkly funny account of the ruptures between the real and the imaginary that occur when the present is a less desirable place to be.

 

All tickets £15 including a free glass of wine, beer or soft drink.
