Theatre Ad Infinitum, George Mann

Multi-award-winning, Bristol-based company Theatre Ad Infinitum bring back their powerful play about a moving journey of life, death and enduring love.

After his wife passes away, William escapes to a paradise of fantasy and past memories, a place far from the reality of his grief. Returning from beyond the grave, Rose revisits her widowed companion to perform one last act of love: to help him let go.

Using a live accordion accompaniment, Translunar Paradise is an exquisite piece of mask and movement theatre which was a multi-award-winning, critically acclaimed sell out at the 2011 and 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It has played at the Barbican as part of the London International Mime Festival, and has toured throughout the UK and to more than 20 countries internationally. It is also the winner of 8
international theatre awards.

George Mann is Associate Director of Bristol Old Vic, recently co-directing the critically acclaimed Pink Mist.
