Preview: IMPRINTS: the ancestry project


IMPRINTS is a new work that focuses on the role the past plays in determining behaviour and self-identification. It will examine the functions of genealogy, genetics and storytelling in shaping the individual. We follow the fantastical journey of a woman who, through extraordinary circumstances, finds herself inhabiting the experiences of her long dead forebears.


About the company: Gargantua is artist driven and works as a creative ensemble, producing groundbreaking projects in two-year cycles. Seasons therefore consist of the creation, development and performance of new work as well as the remounting of past productions for regional, national and/or international touring. Artistic collaboration has no boundaries for Gargantua. Gargantua is a company that believes in the creative potential within artists and are committed to the continuous exploration of their talents. Gargantuan artists animate, sing, light, design, write, compose, move, draw, film, dance, perform, play, transform – it is a collective creation. The result of this multidisciplinary creation is an ever-evolving, increasingly informed, proudly provocative style all their own.
