Polishing Iceland
Confusion turns into comedy, fear into
action. Through sensual and surreal physical theatre, Polishing
Iceland conveys
a universal story about looking for human connection and understanding beyond
words.
A wall, a door.
A table, a bus.
A bed, a boat, a counter,....
Polyvalent and light, rigid and strong,
the object serves as the 4th actor of the piece. Playing multiple
roles the object incarnates an ever-changing relationship to the
physicality of the actors.
