Alex from Tortoise In A Nutshell talks to our co-editor about their production ‘Concerned Others’.
Scotland has the highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe. In communities across the country, families, loved ones, and clinicians support people suffering with substance addiction. Multi-award winners Tortoise in a Nutshell present Concerned Others, an intimate tabletop performance that shares the stories of critically underheard voices. Accounts that paint us as a nation struggling to recognise a deadly culture of shame, ignorance and misunderstanding surrounding addiction and drug-related death. Immersive soundscapes, shoebox installations, turntables, micro-projection and 32mm figures combine to create a multi-textured piece exploring a defining crisis. Part of the Made in Scotland showcase.
You can see this hard hitting drama at Summerhall’s demonstration room from Wednesday 2nd – Sunday 27th August at 14:45. (except Monday 14th and 21st August)
