A breath-taking blend of gig theatre, storytelling and striking visuals.
When Mountains Meet is a gig-theatre show inspired by real events with a vibrant live score influenced by South-Asian and Scottish music. Multi-role storytelling relates musician Anne Wood's journey to find her father in Pakistan, her travels through his land and discovery that she is taboo in a culture to which she longs to belong. Despite seemingly insurmountable challenges, love eventually prevails.
"My mother is Scottish. My father was Pakistani. In my early twenties I found the father I’d never met … but I was taboo in a culture to which I longed to belong.”
This tender, surprising and heart-opening show offers an immersive audience experience, summoning majestic mountains, mesmerising sounds and mouth-watering tastes.
