About This Event

On Monday 3 August at 6pm, The Cockpit hosts The Writing of Stones, a unique performance that delves into the very essence of human creativity. Employing the powerful medium of physical theatre, the show traces creativity's journey from its nascent beginnings right through to its ultimate end. Remarkably, the production features a cast composed of both human performers and actual stones, creating a truly arresting visual and conceptual experience. Audiences can expect something described as a hijacked meditation, a journey that promises to be as thought-provoking as it is visually striking, akin to a psychedelic school trip. The inspiration for this exploration stems from the profound writings of Roger Caillois, prompting a deep examination of concepts such as attention, the intricacies of language, and our fundamental connection to the natural world. Tickets for this intriguing event are available at £16.45 for full price, with a concessionary rate of £13.36.
