I have found a company called Trestle Theatre, they specialise in high energy collaborations with international artists to create highly physical story telling theatre that embraces a variety of cultural expressions.
Their current touring production is an adaptation of a Polish Fable "The Glass Mountain"
The modern reinvention of the piece transports the story ino the 21st century and follows the plight of a Polish Baker who boards a bus for England and gets more of an adventure that he at first bargained for - Looking in depth at contemporary stories of migration.
Trestle concern themself with encorporating the traditions of the people in the play order to create an autentic piece of theatre. The play is very much inspired by the traditions of Eastern European singing and music
Feel free to explore their website for further info on the company and their current touring productions they look absolutely brilliant,

Hi Kyli,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing a blog about our latest show - The Glass Mountain.
Have you had a chance to see the show as yet?
Cheers,
Trestle
Hi
ReplyDeleteNot a problem, I was immediately captured by your premise and have since looked into your source found in the Polish Fable.
No I haven't watched the show unfortunately, where are you touring around the South West or here-abouts? I would absolutely love to come and see the show, I am particularly interested in methods of reinvention into the 21st century, any insights into your devising method would be hugely welcome?!
Thanks
Kyli
