Sealskin is an old selkie tale of the sea. Every full moon the Selkies appear, peeling away their seal skin, they dance freely in the moonlight, a fisherman discovers their secret, a skin is stolen and we see the betrayal and consequences that follow, exploring ideas of belonging, otherness and home.
The show combines Tmesis’ trademark playful and highly skilled physicality, puppetry, storytelling, incredible projection design and live original music from acoustic duo Me and Deboe.
This was a smash hit last year at The Everyman from Liverpool’s Tmesis and is touring nationally
