The Woman and the Canvas
The Woman and the Canvas
Developed in co-production with the award winning Theatre RE, The Woman and the Canvas explores the life of artist Anna. A painter suffering from an artistic block in her work Anna struggles to put her work to canvas, yet Anna’s work is reborn through a joyous, and at times nightmarish journey through her life with a large ensemble of eccentric and wonderfully imagined physical characters. A piece of physical theatre with nominal text, this work is a festival of colour and energy.
“The Woman and the Canvas is exquisitely formed and perfectly executed, a fitting tribute to the companies involved, as well as a meditation on art that can be felt by anyone who has felt the trembling terror of a blank page.”
British Theatre Guide
“A Masterpiece.”
