Abbotsbury, United Kingdom
Ondine
An immersive theatre and circus adventure around Abbotsbury in Dorset.
Ondine flows with the water around Abbotsbury, searching for a love that will make her human. But how can a water nymph climb the hill to St Catherine’s Chapel to beg a miracle husband from the saint herself? She needs adventurous souls to go on her quest. Site-specific theatre makers Teatro Vivo invite you to enter the legend and explore enchanted Abbotsbury alongside performers from the local community, flying aerialists and unearthly characters. The performance will happen outdoors, and will include a walk to the top of Chapel Hill, so dress for all weathers and expect something magical. Please contact us with access requirements or queries, we aim to support those with access needs to be able to enjoy the performance Audiences will be in small groups outdoors with COVID-safe measures in place to enable everyone to feel safe as they journey up the hill. A collaboration with Aerialist Charlie Bicknell. Funded by The Dorset Community Foundation
Audience Role
The audience will be asked to collect items on the way to meet St Catherine - asking and answering questions from the characters
