The Table
World Premiere | Curious Seed & Lung Ha Theatre Company in association with Lyra by Christine Devaney, Maria Oller & Jo TimminsAbout
The Table is a world we’ve built together and now we have to figure out how we all live in it at once.
A bold new intergenerational dance theatre production that questions who gets a seat at the table - and what unfolds once we’re there.
Who’s been invited and who got to make the invitations?
Blending movement, live music, text, and playful imagery, The Table offers a multi-layered performance experience that invites us to think about where we belong and how we show up for one another.
Woven through with unexpected interventions, The Table exists on the fragile edges of order and chaos, embracing both the joys and the challenges of being together - reminding us that connection can also be messy and unpredictable.
The Table is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
