The Daily Telegraph
Spellbinding stories from the world’s saltiest stage!
In November 2009, eight performers from award winning theatre company New International Encounter (NIE) embarked on a 3500 mile voyage across the Atlantic Ocean from France to Guadaloupe aboard a cargo ship.
With the help of Icelandic novelist, poet and Björk lyricistSjón, their experiences on the voyage are delicately intertwined with seafaring tales from around the world. NIE combine their trademark mix of storytelling, physical theatre, live music, multiple languages and a European ensemble to create this lyrical and funny theatre show.
Tickets £9-£15 (£6-£13 concessions)

NIE is a company of international and multilingual collaboration between theatre workers from different European countries and traditions. The core of the group is made up of a collaboration between artists from Norway, Great Britain, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain, Denmark and France. NIE are co-operating with different European theatres, institutions, groups and artists in their projects.
NIE uses all theatrical means available - music, light, animation, design, words, dancing, sounds, clown, buffoon, tragedy, puppets, singing - to create theatre that is alive and by turns comic, tragic, ridiculous and disturbing.
NIE was formed in 2001 and rehearsed its first three shows in the old Sokol gymnastic hall in Mseno, a small village in the north of the Czech Republic. We now have an office in Cambridge, UK and in Oslo, Norway.
