Swallow the Sea Caravan Theatre

"Bewitching and bizarre" The Guardian
Object, abstract, physical, clown, puppet theatre set to original audio scores shared in a converted 1970s caravan. 

Swallow the Sea Caravan Theatre are a Scottish arts collective, co-founded by Jess Raine, Jemima Thewes and Emma Brierley. Since they began collaborating in 2015, they have toured festivals and venues across Scotland and internationally with shows that can be presented for large audiences outdoors, or inside an intimate all-immersive theatre in the tiniest of settings with the smallest of audiences. 

Each piece is without spoken dialogue and features an immersive theme, original music and strong visual textures.
