Menagerie

World Premiere

Theatre
1750 - 1850
Pleasance Two

A man and a woman journey together through the night. Memories fade, stories expand, music seeps in, a grainy black and white film runs on. Correspondence is a travelogue of the heart which nods to classic film noir, winks to French romantics and pouts at surrealist art. "Absolutely compelling theatre." The Guardian

Aluminum Show

UK Premiere

Theatre
1800 - 1900
Grand

'Amazing', 'fascinating' and 'incredible' are just some of the ways
critics have tried to describe The Aluminum Show. Others have made
comparisons with Blue Man Group and Stomp. See for yourself when,
after touring the world since 2003, it makes its UK debut at the
Edinburgh Fringe. Devised by Tel Aviv-based dancer Ilan Azriel who let
his imagination run riot on the theme of aluminium in all its various
industrial forms, a skilful cast of athletic dancers create a joyous
fantasy of movement, physical theatre, puppetry and special effects.
