Locus Amoenus

Three strangers meet on a train. In one hour, the train will crash and they will all die.

From the Spanish company Atresbandes that created the BE Festival-winning Solfatara comes a new show exploring ideas of paradise.

Locus Amoenus or “pleasant place” is characterised in literature and visual arts as a sunlit glade or meadow. Through a series of conversations and situations, the show asks what paradise means to each person and, as the train speeds towards to its fatal conclusion, do we pay enough attention on the journey there?

The play last 60 minutes and is suitable for those aged 14 and above.

It’s at The Lowry in Salford on January 28.
