The Kaleidoscope Project presents
The Sun, The Moon and The Apple
by Aleksandra Rosiak and The Kaleidoscope Project
inspired by “The Epilogue Poems” by Ted Hughes

Inspired by a series of poems by Ted Hughes entitled ‘The Epilogue Poems‘. The production conveys free structure of poetry generating a dreamy and sensual atmosphere. The project is a cross-disciplinary experiment combining visual arts and video installation with a theatrical performance based on poetry.
Featuring original score and video projection, the main theme of the production is the male – female dichotomy of the universe and the never-ending quest for balance and harmony. The production plays with both textual and visual qualities of theatre and explores elements of Greek theatre and of physical and dance theatre.
Come along and experience this free lunch-time theatre piece free of charge.
