12 Litres 8800 Steps
May 15 @ 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM
The Unbridled Theatre Collective and Aluna Theatre presents 12 Litres 8800 Steps
12 Litres 8800 Steps is an interdisciplinary theatrical odyssey that invites us into the world of people who have lost loved ones to addiction: One woman’s journey in coming to terms with the fragility of her own mental health while witnessing the demise of her partner through addiction. A Horse appears and magic realism collides with the everyday reality of living with and loving an addict.
Moving between fantasy and reality, past and present and inspired by equine therapy, the play explores the deepening bond between The Horse and The Woman: how they come together to negotiate their relationship, re-discover play and how they eventually heal each other in the process. An 80-minute high octane rollercoaster with stunning visuals and an immersive soundscape, 12 Litres 8800 Steps is for anyone seeking a silver lining in the dark.
