In the Ocean at The Greenhouse

The radical first zero-waste performance space in the UK, The Greenhouse, has announced the premiere of To the Ocean. The show is an escape into the magic and wonderment of the natural world around us, from the perspective of a 16-year-old unearthing secrets from her family’s past. Directed and written by Oli Savage (Artistic Director of The Greenhouse; Waste Age, Design Museum; Trump L’Oeil, Upstairs of the Gatehouse) the show investigates the experience of growing up, and the lies families tell to protect their loved ones. Audiences will be taken on a journey to experience the mysterious ancient story behind the mythological creatures of Selkies. Known to many as shapeshifters between a seal and human form, Selkies come from traditions and mythology of various cultures, especially those of Celtic and Norse origin.
