    A reverie on the reality-altering nature of attention, the limits of language, and humanity’s place in the natural world inspired by the ideas and stones of Roger Caillois.

    Part of Voila! Theatre Festival (4-24 Nov) in venues across London.

    Get 25% off when you book more than one show across our Autumn Season (September - December 2024).

    The Writing of Stones is a guided visit to the museum of your imagination, a hijacked meditation, a psychedelic school trip, a reverie on the reality-altering nature of attention, the limits of language, and humanity’s place in the natural world.

    Inspired by the writings of French thinker, artist, and stone-collector Roger Caillois, this show is a dreamy train ride into the depths of your subconscious.

    Expect phantasmagoria, surrealism, science, illuminations, aesthetic philosophy, The Sistine Chapel, your worst haircut, an Impressionist lunch, and lots and lots of stones.
