Based on the award-winning verse novel by Harry Josephine Giles, Deep Wheel Orcadia presents
a spellbinding fusion of performance and music that brings the captivating story to stage.
Produced by acclaimed Scottish theatre company Scissor Kick, this moving show is told entirely
in Orkney Scots with English surtitles. With direction by Susan Worsfold and an incredible
original score by BAFTA-winning composer Atzi Muramatsu, this groundbreaking sci-fi story
celebrates a living minority language and places it at the heart of the cosmos.
When Astrid returns home from art school on Mars, she’s lost to find inspiration on a distant,
dilapidated space station spinning slowly through the stars – Deep Wheel Orcadia. As the station
and its people struggle for survival, Astrid meets Darling, a mysterious Martian seeking refuge in
an already troubled haven. The fragile connection between two outsiders becomes a lifeline as
Deep Wheel Orcadia delves into queer identities and a struggle for survival.
