The Last Pearl
From the team that created the multi award winning productions Shackleton and the Third Policeman, Blue Raincoat Theatre Company bring their newest devised piece, The Last Pearl.
About The Last Pearl
The Last Pearl is loosely based on the ideas of the environmentalist James Lovelock and was first presented to the public in Sligo in the Autumn of 2022.
A strong visual theatre piece using scaled models as well as bunraku and shadow puppetry, The Last Pearl tells the story of a woman, and in the aftermath of a typhoon, with her daughter, as they scavenge and explore in a dying world. It is the story of their ability to adapt to a changing environment and ultimately survive.
The Last Pearl is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
