Salt the Threshold

Salt the Threshold is the story of a couple clinging to normality when everything that was once familiar is redefined in preternatural terms. It starts small: aching shoulders, strange leaks, and things that go bump in the night. But before long, it becomes impossible to ignore as their understanding of home disintegrates around them, and they have no idea how to stop it.

Devised by the company for two actors and a puppet, the piece explores ideas of (un)familiarity through both disintegrating theatrical forms and a spiralling domestic narrative, moving through styles and genres like something sloughing off its skin.

Part folklore, part kitchen sink drama and part love story, Salt the Threshold is an intimate and urgent exploration of what it means to love someone you don't recognise any more.
