A Walk at the Edge of the World

“A wonderful meditation on journeys, lives and spaces.” Audience member

Made by the same creative team as Magnetic North’s hit show Walden (2009-10), A Walk at the Edge of the World is inspired by the act of walking and examines the particular character of the coast – a crossing point where the land meets the sea and a place of arrival and departure. A Walk at the Edge of the World begins with a short walk taken by the whole audience, from the sea to the theatre. Once inside the theatre, as the performer begins to talk about walks he has taken, audience and performer find the projected images leading us all on another journey. The hidden secrets of the landscape and the constantly shifting border between land and sea remind us that the past is always with us, whether we realise it or not.

Please note: The show starts with a walk from Samalaman Beach at 7:30pm. Due to limited parking at the beach area, it is advisable to park at Glenuig Hall car park and make your way to the beach in time for 7:30pm. The show then moves into the hall. For those unable to take part in the walk itself, there will be the opportunity to view this element of the show at the hall from 7:30pm.
