Mime duo DeRonde/Deroo explore the struggle and the beauty of melancholy in this award-winning, visually stunning physical performance. Set in a dark and windy winter dreamscape, After The Echo takes you on a surrealist journey punctuated by explosions of colour and warmth: a blood-and-thunder pop ballad in a red sequin dress, a roadside encounter with a golden stag, two lost souls in a storm longing for a Brazilian beach
On the way we learn a little more about that mystifying feeling that unites us all because it affects us all; an antidote against polarisation and loneliness that connects us simultaneously with our insignificance and our importance.
An iconoclastic show delivered with both the intensity of a drunken one-night-stand and the sad fragility of the morning-after, After The Echo promises to leave you enchanted, moved, slightly perplexed and eager for more.
