UP Comes to the Tron Theatre in September

Tron Theatre will welcome the World Premiere of UP by Visible Fictions; a big story about love, fate and luck told in a profoundly intimate way through Object Theatre.

The odds of perishing in a commercial plane accident are 29.4 million to one. Reassuring. Except if you're the one. As emergency masks plummet, engines squeal and hand baggage flies from the overhead bins, two strangers hold hands. Scared and breathless, their lives flash past as they face their final moments together. 

Exploring themes of luck and choice, fate and coincidence and above all what it means to connect with someone, this thrilling production, created by one of Scotland's leading production companies, is a fantasy table-top exploration using object theatre where time is turned upside down and all the things that matter start to make sense.

UP was first explored in 2020 and shared with an audience at the Manipulate Festival. The response was overwhelmingly positive, validating this as a powerful piece that needed to be explored further and taken to full production.

Douglas Irvine, Visible Fictions Artistic Director commented - "I am so excited to bring a rarely seen art form to Scottish stages. Object Theatre has fascinated me for years and the intimacy of this practice combined with the huge and yet intimate story of UP makes this performance stand out."
