Revel
A Company Chordelia production,
in Association with the Byre Theatre and Luminate
This Autumn, audiences are invited to step into the dressing room of every show Kally and Steinvör have ever been in – past, present and future.
A 60+ coming-of-age story, Revel is a funny and moving new show fusing dance, physical theatre, dialogue and music.
Moving between Kally and Steinvor's real relationship in the theatre dressing room as they get ready (they are always getting ready) and their surreal inner worlds, the two dancers reflect on life in their 60s, with all the losses, gains and adjustments of ageing. These two acclaimed Scottish performers navigate their memories and the shifting realities of their bodies and minds with wry humour as they prepare to step once more onto the stage.
In a world where we battle with who we are told to be, who we wish we were, and who we actually are, the challenge of this show is learning to accept and embrace ourselves as we are now.
