PILGRIM (A pilgrim in search of a bull named Carlo)
Following the footprints of the elusive bull (in the Zen tradition of the Ten Ox-herding pictures), an accidental pilgrim embarks on a journey to recover her lost faith in love, or perhaps faith itself. As she wanders deeper into the birthplace of the Western foundational stories, she is guided by an unseen hand back to her own spiritual origin, to retrieve something she'd exiled long ago.
Performed by Kate Walder, with original music and striking visual imagery from award-winning composer Max Lyandvert and designer Michael Hankin, this solo clown-based work takes us on a timeless quest through Rome, Athens and Jerusalem - the great cities of myth, reason and revelation that may just save us yet.
