A striking adaptation of Madame Butterfly that takes the classic themes of love, despair, loss and hope and creates a fresh and unique interpretation for new audiences. This modern, multi-disciplinary piece uses visually poetic narrative to tell the tragic tale of Butterfly, a kitemaker, whose lover has left her, alone and isolated. Meyyappan’s established visual style seen previously in Snails & Ketchup is complemented by the introduction of spectacular puppetry, creating a lush, textured, innovative piece of visual theatre about love and loss.
Known for his eclectic mix of visual and physical theatre and his incorporation of circus techniques and bouffon, Ramesh Meyyappan is a Singapore-born Scotland based theatre practitioner who continually develops and expands his theatrical vocabulary. Winner of two Life! Theatre Awards for Best Actor, his productions have toured the world, including Austria, Australia, Cambodia, India, Hong Kong, Sweden, Brazil the UK and America amongst others.
In the haunting world of Butterfly, embark on a spell-binding journey that plunges you deep into one woman’s insanity as she grapples with her estrangement and despair.
