A Triple Bill of Visual Theatre by Three Trailblazing Directors

A feast for the eyes of drama, mystery, and dark comedy, where so much is said without a word being spoken.

Solar Bear, one of Scotland’s foremost inclusive theatre companies, presents Wake Up - a triple bill of visual theatre directed by Moira Anne McAuslan, Craig McCulloch, and Petre Dobre without a single word spoken.

Wake Up transports audiences to a world torn apart by conflict; to a future threatened by climate change; and to a small flat the morning after the night before. Sharing the same design team, the triple bill embodies a striking and coherent design with dynamic transitions between each of the three short plays. Fierce, urgent and beautiful, Wake Up will open your eyes to new ways of storytelling.

A family prepares for war. A man wakes up next to a dead body. The seas rise, the world is on fire. Produced by Solar Bear, Wake Up is a triple bill of visual theatre by three trailblazing directors. In three short plays you’ll be transported to a world torn apart by conflict, to a future impacted by climate change, and to a small flat the morning after the night before. Join us for an evening of drama, mystery and dark comedy, where so much is said without a word being spoken. This show is in visual vernacular, a unique physical theatre technique with elements of poetry and mime, primarily performed by Deaf artists. This powerful storytelling style combines strong movement, iconic signs, gestures and facial expressions to capture the world in all its visual complexity.
