Vanishing Point to Become Associate Company of Citizens Theatre

From April 2015, Vanishing Point will move from their current office at the CCA in Glasgow to become an associate company of the Citizens Theatre.

One of Scotland's most successful theatre companies, Vanishing Point is acclaimed for productions developed uniquely with international casts and creative collaborators that have been presented around the world. Led by Artistic Director Matthew Lenton, Vanishing Point will now have a new base in Glasgow from which to create their distinctive dream-like, atmospheric and magical work.

Announcing the iconic theatre's newest tenants, Dominic Hill says:"It's important to me that the Citizens is home to some of the best creative talent in Scotland and Vanishing Point fit this bill perfectly. Having a range of companies and creatives based in our building opens up all sorts of opportunities for collaboration and cooperation and enriches the creative lives of everyone who works in the building. I'm looking forward to welcoming Vanishing Point to their new home next month. "

Vanishing Point Artistic Director Matthew Lenton says: "Now feels like an exciting time in Vanishing Point's evolution to be based at the Citizens theatre. We are two companies producing ambitious, invigorating work from contrasting, but complementary perspectives. It'll be exciting for us to be based in a living, breathing theatre where work is being created daily by directors, actors, performers and designers. We are looking forward to the start of this new relationship."

Vanishing Point most recently presented The Beautiful Cosmos of Ivor Cutler at the Citizens Theatre in spring 2014, a co-production with National Theatre of Scotland in association with Eden Court Theatre. In 2008, Vanishing Point and the Citizens Theatre worked together to create Little Otik based on the film by Czech surrealist artist Jan Svankmajer.
