Mirabel – A new solo storytelling show at the Ovalhouse
Chris Goode’s new solo storytelling show is a sad and strange fairytale for adults about what happens when you refuse to accept that you’re lost.
Mirabel is a tender, hallucinatory and disturbing story that follows a lone child through a desolate landscape after the end of the world, conjured by Chris’s distinctive lyrical style with a richly immersive visual and sound design.
Mirabel follows the eponymous eight-year-old as she and her old faithful Bear search for a responsible adult to take care of her in the alien post-apocalyptic world in which she has woken up alone.
Along the way she accumulates a travelling gang of outsiders: an enigmatic stray dog, a badly wounded pilot, a bluebell and a talking rock, all of whom accompany her on her quest through the devastated landscape.
But as they reach their apparent destination, the story spins into an entirely different and unexpected final act.
Mirabel is at Ovalhouse, 52-54 Kennington Oval, London SE11 5SW from October 31-November 18 at 7.30pm.
Tickets £15 (£10 – £9 concs) from www.ovalhouse.com or call 020 7582 7680
