Set on a tall ship, a selected group of artists voyage to The Arctic Circle. The aim? To create their finest work, inspired by life on the ‘edge of the world’.
However, not everyone is suited to the terrain: isolated from her emails and barista coffee, successful poetry translator, Alys is forced onto the creaking boat by her publisher to live with a group of strangers. While crossing the perilous ‘Devil’s Dancefloor’, all communication with the outside world is lost and the mysterious Arctic guide, Laura challenges the others to give in to the elements.
As the ice melts, exposing dangers from an ancient world, the true wild nature of the Arctic is revealed, along with the increasing deep marks left on its environment by humanity. Through infinite days and nights on the waves, the artists’ work becomes more dangerous and an ancient being is stirring from the cold dark waters beneath. How far will each go to create the greatest work of their lifetime?
The Ice at the End of The World is inspired by writer Katy Schutte’s recent real-life journey to the Arctic. Directed by Madelaine Moore and produced by Omnibus Theatre for their Autumn Season, this new cosmic horror explores the powers of the natural world and how far humans will go to match them.
