Peregrinus is a wandering theatre show by KTO Theatre, co-financed by the Minister of Culture of Poland, inspired by T.S. Eliot's poetry. It follows a contemporary everyman through a single day, using striking visuals, dynamic choreography and grotesque humour to reveal the traps of modern life. The performance questions whether collective possession ever ends and whether we are victims of the dybbuks or become them ourselves. The show is free, runs for 50 minutes at Courtyard and is suitable for ages 3 and over. Please note that the audience will be standing throughout.
Why see this show?
A free, visually striking physical theatre piece that asks uncomfortable questions about identity, conformity and who shapes us. Suitable for all ages, it is the kind of show that stays with you long after you leave the Courtyard.
