En Haut (Up Up Up Up Up)
8 Nov - 9 NovA fool is born in the sky. He plunges to Earth, and hatches from an egg. Can he build a tower tall enough to reach home, or will he be consumed by the shadows that pursue him from below? One thing is certain. You. Will. Laugh.
En Haut (Up Up Up Up Up) was conceived in the French countryside, developed in London and the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia, and is ready to hatch at Voila! Theatre Festival this November!
The show touches on themes of balance, control and loss of control, chaos and order, ambition and aspiration, transcendence, failure, and death. It features a giant egg and a five metre ascent. But don’t let all that fool you. It’s funny. Seriously.
Performances at Voila! will feature live Georgian choral music sung by members of London’s leading Georgian Choir, Mertskhalo.
This show is part of the Voila! Festival.
