The Mother

Pentland Theatre, EICC, Edinburgh, Fri-sat

Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Story Of The Mother, this dance adaptation stars acclaimed prima ballerina, Natalia Osipova, regarded as one of the greatest ballerinas of all time, and Jonathan Goddard, winner of the Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for Best Male Dancer.

As a young, single mother sets out to save her child, she must face impossible trials and cross the line between dreams, reality and life and death itself.
