“Only in her laugh there was something missing – a certain tone, depending on the possibility of sorrow. She never smiles.”
A woman cursed with weightlessness, afloat like a balloon cloud and unable to cry. Gravity and gravitas don’t come easy to everybody. Do we have to pin our last hopes on a suicidal prince?
This multi-sensory performance investigates the topic of (dis)connection, interweaving verbatim with George MacDonald’s The Light Princess. We explore what social, emotional and physical connection mean to us in these alienating times. Surrender to an immersive experience including aroma technology, spatial sound and environmental stimuli. Bon appétit!
The Light Princess will be a first work-in-progress showing at CPT’s Sprint Festival.
The Light Princess is supported by Arts Council Englands National Lottery Grant
“It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
