Atlantis - Edinburgh

  • Dance Base 14-16 Grassmarket Edinburgh, Scotland, EH1 2JU United Kingdom (map)

Atlantis is a one woman space race. It takes the audience on a journey through Disneyland and into outer space and asks them to look back and reconsider the planet we inhabit. What did we learn from the race into space? What did we gain in getting there? And can we train for failure?

Funny, thoughtful and highly kinetic, Atlantis uses popcorn, projection, a paddling pool and the songs of the STS-135 shuttle mission to explore the answers to all these questions. Along the way, the show asks us to consider the idea that we all inhabit a spaceship – spaceship Earth – and draws parallels between our planet and the shuttle’s namesake, the mythical island that sank beneath the waves.

Heads Up

An eclectic pick-and-mix treat of great new dance and styles curated with you, the hungry Fringe audience, in mind.

Programmes of totally new work from invited artists, offering high-quality dance diversions that show off fresh ideas and creations hot from the studio. You may even see an exclusive teaser for a future festival show.
