A Bold New Production Theatre & Performing Arts

a_bold_new_production


This work has been built following a series of interviews and discussions with multiple communities across England

York Minster's awe-inspiring architecture provides a striking stage for Se Gæst | The Guest, merging centuries-old history with a bold, contemporary performance on 9 October
A powerful new production exploring national identity, belonging and community is set to tour across the North East and beyond this autumnCreated by acclaimed choreographer and theatre-maker Anthony Lo-Giudice, Se Gæst | The Guest blends dance, live music and storytelling to pose urgent questions about who we are as a nation - and what it truly means to belong
Anthony Lo-Giudice is a North East-based artist known for his emotionally charged, visually striking productions that centre on place, people and identityWith a background in dance and theatre, his work has toured nationally and internationally, often rooted in the stories and landscapes of the North East of EnglandSe Gæst | The Guest is his most ambitious project to date - developed in collaboration with communities across the country
The production follows the story of a young boy who washes up on the shores of England, prompting a community in turmoil to confront their beliefs about tolerance, blame, nostalgia and the rapidly changing world around themBuilt from real conversations and interviews with people across England, the piece explores the country's complex, and often conflicting, feelings around identity and belonging
"This work is about listeningAbout the uncomfortable, the conflicted, and the tender parts of what it means to be from somewhere - or to arrive thereThrough movement, story, and music, we're asking: who do we become when we stand together?" - Anthony Lo-Giudice
Rich with original music, physical performance and raw storytelling, Se Gæst | The Guest is both deeply personal and boldly politicalThe work invites audiences to reflect on their own place within a shifting national narrative, asking: who are we, where have we come from, and where are we going - together?
