DRAWING FAULT LINES 1st February 2020-1st March 2020 at Summerhall Edinburgh

DRAWING FAULT LINES is a Guardian Visual Arts Top 5 national Pick on 8 Feb 2020! *

Drawing Fault Lines is a selection of drawings that form a fundamental element of the making and devising process of Fault Lines, a new performance work by Two Destination Language theatre company.

Each drawing is a window into a situation that invites the viewer to create their own story and narrative unravelling before them. Each window – an opportunity, someone’s story, someone’s history, your gaze, and your assumptions.

Drawing Fault Lines is a unique insight into the process of theatrical image-making. Part storyboard, part fantasy, this exhibition foregrounds a way of thinking, looking and imagining a live event through the medium of drawing. Read more here
