‘A Walk at the Edge of the World’ Magnetic North Theatre

'A Walk at the Edge of the World' Magnetic North Theatre

Inspired by the act of walking, A Walk at the Edge of the World begins with a walk taken by the whole audience, before they arrive at the venue for a ‘magic lantern’ style talk about walking on the coast. The solo performer leads the audience along the many paths his mind followed as he walked and the talk leaps from subject to subject, mirroring the way the mind works when there is time only to think. Projected images hint at how the hidden secrets of the landscape and the constantly shifting border between land and sea remind us that the past is always with us, whether we realise it or not. 'A Walk at the Edge of the World' is inspired by the act of walking and examines the particular character of the coast – a crossing point where the land meets the sea and a place of arrival and departure. A Walk at the Edge of the World begins with a short walk taken by the whole audience, from the sea to the theatre. Once inside the theatre, as the performer begins to talk about walks he has taken, audience and performer find the projected images leading us all on another journey. The hidden secrets of the landscape and the constantly shifting border between land and sea remind us that the past is always with us, whether we realise it or not. The evening start in Armadale pier Carpark, where you should leave your car just before 7.30pm. We then walk for 20 minutes across the foreshore, through some trees and to the venue for the play which starts at 8pm. Lifts will be arranged to collect you car at the end. We suggest that you wear suitable footwear. Those not wishing to do the walk should meet in the Stables at 7.30pm Text by Nicholas Bone, Design by Sans façon and performed by Ian Cameron **** “Works beautifully… a tremendously timely piece of theatre.” The Scotsman on 'Walden' “A wonderful meditation on journeys, lives and spaces.” Audience member Part of the Highland Seashore Festival
