Every 13 minutes, a small group of audience members will enter a kind of labyrinth in the Fruitmarket Warehouse. They will be guided through a series of experimental, intimate, and highly interactive encounters – each distinct, yet each adding to an appreciation of the whole. These works are presented as works-in-progress.

Cartography has been created by Eilidh Appletree, Fibi Cowley, Kirsty May Hamilton, Edith Hicks, Kialy Tihngang and Alys Williams – participants on the Waypoint-1 mentorship project.

Before you book:
Audience members should be aware that the performance involves direct, sometimes physical interaction with performers, with elements of surprise or moments where senses may be heightened.

The event is presented in time-specific slots with no intervals.

Audiences will experience the performance in groups of 4. If you book a single ticket, you may be in the company of audience members you don’t know.
