Zoe’s Peculiar Journey Through Time
Inspired by stories of plastic waste in the oceans forming their own floating islands, Zoe’s Peculiar Journey Through Time is touring the UK this Autumn, opening at the Southbank Centre in London. Directed by Sue Buckmaster (Artistic Director of Theatre-Rites; Chotto Desh, Akram Khan Company, Sadler's Wells; The Welcoming Party, Manchester International Festival and the Ruhrtriennale Festival) and written by Jimmy Osborne (The Incredible Tale of Robot Boy, Theatre-Rites; Maisie Says She Loves Me, VAULT Festival) with Sue Buckmaster this magical tale will be told through visual storytelling, dialogue, some use of BSL and Theatre-Rites award-winning puppetry.
Zoe’s Peculiar Journey Through Time is part of Theatre-Rites’ sustainable programme of Reinventing and Reimagining Existing Work. Play is at the heart of the development process ensuring that challenging themes can be approached in engaging and joyful ways to create a captivating and thought-provoking experience for children and their accompanying adults.
This exciting time-travelling adventure will see Zoe catapulted a hundred years into the future to an island made entirely of plastic waste.
Every object in the production has been created from either found objects or non-single-use plastics. The show, originally a co-production between award-winning Theatre-Rites and Burgtheater Vienna, is part of the continued commitment from the company to playfully and thoughtfully explore environmental and climate crisis issues.
Zoe’s Peculiar Journey Through Time will open in September at the Southbank Centre and then visit Plymouth Theatre Royal, Kristiansand Kilden Theatre (Norway), Polka Theatre and finish at Lakeside Nottingham.
