Edalia Day

Inspired by Animé and martial art films, and using Capoeira, masks, puppetry, Kung-fu and live music, In The Surface Of A Bubble transports the audience to an alternate universe where people need only imagine something for it to come true. The girl with the most imagination falls in love with the boy with the least and together they transform their world into ours, where thoughts are locked inside our heads.

At its heart it's about a girl with a transgender father and an absent mother, struggling to find her place in the world. It explores philosophies of Buddhism and Hinduism as well as the naivety of youth: wanting more than anything to grow up and be free and how that clashes with common perceptions of adulthood.

​

It was developed through workshops with a large pool of actors before touring to several venues in 2014.
