Flight Paths show at the Curve

-

NEW to Leicester’s Curve theatre is the first ever co-production from Extant, the UK’s leading theatre company of visually impaired people and Yellow Earth, awardwinni­ng British East Asian theatre company.

Watch as two blind women take centre stage, sometimes on aerial silks, sometimes with their feet firmly on the ground but always surrounded by voices, music, stories and ghosts.

From tradition to modernity they navigate the path of the migrant, weaving together personal stories of blind artists from Japan, Nigeria, the USA and Australia as they forge their careers as aerialists, viola player and soprano.

Both companies have combined movement, music, narrative and creative audio descriptio­n delivered through new sound technology to create a multimedia production that expands artistic and access boundaries.

Flight Paths will hit the theatre on Tuesday February 19 and Wednesday February 20 and tickets vary between £10 and £18.
