Eilidh lives on an island. Adrift and with one eye on the horizon, she is aimless. It seems every day someone is leaving for the mainland, even her own mother. And then a whale washes up on the shore, followed soon after by a mysterious young girl… Using loop pedal technology, two actors will bring an entire town to life. Community meetings smash against mythology as two friends from different worlds learn how an ancient fracture can lead to a new future, together. Hailing from Scotland, and recontextualised by ATYP, this worldwide smash-hit washes up to Pier 2/3 and takes over The Popsy.
