Seaweed, a solo music theater piece by Eugenie Kuffler

Seaweed – a metaphor for going to the bottom of things, to an essence, to there where there is no more to shed, there where the thing is the thing itself. Humans drowning, dissolving among crabs, seahorses, jellyfish, fusing with immemorial underwater life forms, dwelling in a timeless space in which to remain forever suspended or from which to re-incarnate.

Four scenes conveyed through movement, sound, words, song and lights -an infant ejected from a boat plays with a bucket at the bottom of the sea, a woman slides off a rock to join a mermaid, a fisherman unites with the aquatic ghost of the Irish fishmonger Molly Malone, a paralytic turns into seaweed and releases her captive body.
