‘a thundering blend of African drum beats and electronic sound... an engaging exploration of human nature... mesmerising.’ — Stephen McDermott (No More Workhorse)
Inspired by Carl Jung’s Liber Novus (The Red Book), Ultima Thule is a voyage of discovery into the psyche, exploring the road we take through life in search of soul and our quest to find home.
This highly physical piece with an all-female cast of outstanding international performers, set to live percussion and voice, digs deep to find out what connects us, so that we can guide each other home.
