The Inverted Realm is a visually driven psychological drama by The Inverted Realm Project, performed at Ivy Studio at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Inspired by the strange world of Netherlandish proverbs, it follows lost souls moving through a world of absurdity, faith, self-deception and inner conflict, exploring how people become trapped in patterns of thought they cannot see. Surreal, intimate and unsettling, it is a theatrical journey through human folly towards the possibility of hope. The show runs 50 minutes, is for ages 14 and over, and tickets start from £8.
