Stillpoint are bringing their award winning and beautiful work to new audiences this summer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and we would love your help!
Steal Compass, Drive North, Disappear is a solo performance created by Rachel Blackman and directed by Emma Kilbey for Stillpoint. It tells the story of Martin, whose commitment to his successful career as an artist and academic is counter-pointed by the chaos of his personal life and his tendency to disappear when the going gets tough.
Told from the perspectives of Martin’s biographer, as well as through the eyes of his adoring 5 year old daughter, his savvy performance poet wife and his increasingly remote and disappointed lover, Martin is eventually placed in a situation from which there is no escape.
Using black humour, cinematic conventions and physical storytelling, this is a moving, challenging and hilariously funny performance road trip, that tackles questions of cultural conflict, social inequality and gender and playfully asks what we define as success.
