8pm, Friday 6th until Sunday 8th May 2011 @ Tobacco Factory Theatre
The award-winning New International Encounter (NIE) return to Mayfest with their trademark mix of storytelling, physical theatre and live music, after moving and exhilarating audiences with last year’s Everything Falls Apart.
In November 2009, eight performers from NIE embarked on a 3500 mile voyage across the Atlantic Ocean from France to Guadaloupe aboard a cargo ship. With the help of Icelandic novelist, poet and Björk lyricist Sjón (winner of the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize in 2005), NIE have crafted an epic piece of theatre inspired by this journey halfway across the world.
Tales From a Sea Journey mixes seafaring myths, haunting shanties and vivid stories from the deep in a brand new show that explores the magnificent pull and power of the sea. Intertwined with experiences of their voyage, NIE invite you to sail alongside a Second World War navel officer in the Indian Ocean and discover the story of Ella, the first ever Norwegian trawler-woman.
