⎡Atlas⎤
Modest Predicament
"Atlas is a brand new show we created for Hidden Door Festival 2018, taking place in the basement of the beautiful old Leith State Cinema.
The project explores people’s connections to the festival's surroundings in Leith, and their personal experiences, untold stories and hidden places there. In Atlas, we want to encourage the audience to reconsider the way we look at our physical surroundings, and see the stories that dwell there, nestled amongst the brickwork of the everyday. For this project, we used people's real life stories from around Leith, using stories we gathered in person and online. We also used archive material from the Museum of Edinburgh and the Living Memory Association, interspersing historical accounts of everyday Leith with the contemporary ones we captured. These stories were brought to life by sound designer Adam McCallum, and performed with with live visuals and shadow puppetry using an over-head projector." Vertical Divider
