A catwalk. A soundtrack. A journey.

A visually spectacular play exploring questions of identity and what it means to belong, set against a pulsing pop soundtrack. Sometimes sad, often funny and always engaging this is powerful performance for current times.

A fashion show like no other, Fault Lines features five diverse female performers presenting a catwalk parade of costumes and characters from different walks of life. They are ‘models’ of a different kind, playing with our perceptions and preconceptions as they reveal hints of who they are through movement, conversation and stories.

Garments flow, stilettos break, hair is pulled up, let loose, let free!  Heartfelt stories and heart-throbbing energy fill the room.

Through playful performance and tender friendships, Fault Lines offers us a glimpse into the personal stories of these women and invites us to question our own assumptions about identity, equality, and power.

You’ll see moments of celebration and pain from lives like yours, and lives you’ll never know, set to a pulsating pop soundtrack, selected by you!

This show features multitrack audio. Choose from 6 soundtracks, which offer different perspectives of the costumes and characters on stage. You can select your soundtrack and listen with your own smart device and headphones*

*Full support will be provided. There will be a very limited number of devices available to borrow for the duration of the performance, so please remember to bring your own.

Age and content guidance: 14+ – the show features strong language (in recorded music) and partial nudity

Reviews

“What is it all about? Everything, really. Emotions and experiences, moments and memories. The whole thing is a delirious, disorienting dive into female histories, female identities, female expression. A riotous ritual. A chaotic catwalk.” ★★★★ – The Stage

“pure joy; and the sense of freedom that only comes when we bring our pure creativity to bear on the world around us, and succeed in shifting it, ever so slightly, on its axis.” ★★★★ – The Scotsman

“women exploring their real, complicated, multi-faceted, and terrifyingly glorious truths” ★★★★★ – The Scottish Play

Two Destination Language makes intercultural dialogues in theatrical forms. Led by artists Alister Lownie and Katherina Radeva, a Scot and Bulgarian, the company creates award winning devised contemporary theatre and large community projects which tour around the UK and internationally.  Visually stunning, their work deals with identity, cultural boundaries and belonging. Alister’s Scottish heritage and Katherina’s Bulgarian background led to this interest in how cultures interact, develop and are defined.
