Barons Court Theatre – June 2008
Zoo Southside, Edinburgh Festival – August 2008
Created as part of an investigation into the human brain and psyche, looking at how our memories govern our actions and opinions, and the malleability of these memories.
The performance invited audience members to help a group of Professors as they travelled through a world of brains and memory manipulation to rescue a missing colleague.
Every performance was different as the audience chose which of the actors played various characters as the story progressed, making this a quest akin to a choose-your-own-adventure book.
The Bulging Seahorse spent 4 weeks at Barons Court Theatre in London before being transfered to Zoo Southside as part of Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
