Liminal Theatre is a company of artists and associates engaged in theatre research, training, practice and performance. Liminal examines theatre as texture and transformation: the relationship between text, body, light and space, the spatial implications of the spoken word and articulated sound, and the encounter between the moving image and theatrical performance in both theatre and non-theatre venues. It interfaces tradition and contemporary arts training practice.

Liminal Theatre presents 'Antigone: The Descent Across the Bridge of Acheron'

Into the archaic depths of the Underworld, prying the chasm between the stark light of interrogation and the plunging darkness of the abyss.

  • Paul Robertson
  • Georgie Durham
  • Terry Yeboah
  • Samir Malik
  • Ousmane NGom
