An apocalyptic clown romance. A vintage ocean fantasia. A love story at the bottom of the sea.
In the middle of the ocean, two strangers navigate the distance between each other. They crash into one another, again and again. They push and they pull. The ground echoes with the shifting of tectonic plates. It begins to rain.
Through playful visuals, live sound manipulation, and a rather long stage, ATLANTIC digs deep into the cracks that exist between us in search of what is shared. This is our debut show. You might get wet.
““emma + pj have made an incredible piece that simmers on a familiar feeling. It is moving and perfectly executed.””
““The beautiful images and sounds are still echoing with me. A beguiling, delicate show - with elegant performances and stage craft. Like so much great work, gone too soon. But hope it’ll be back. You all deserve to see it.”

ATLANTIC was commissioned by Upstart Theatre for a work-in-progress at DARE Festival 2018 in Shoreditch Town Hall, London. In winter 2019, we embarked on an international R&D process funded by Arts Council England and supported by the Portsmouth Guildhall (Portsmouth, UK), Slung Low (Leeds, UK), and Z Space (San Francisco, USA). We premiered the show at VAULT Festival, London in February 2020.
