Ondine is strange, my lord. You saw her tonight in the storm. It's not that she's in the storm. She is the storm. When Hans and Ondine meet, the worlds of a mortal man and a magical creature of the water dangerously collide and Ondine is forced to make an inexorable pact, which will change both their lives forever. Should he betray her, he must die and, along with her time on earth, be erased completely from her memory for her to return to the world of the lake forever. By turns comic, enchanting, and tragic, Ondine is believed to have been Giraudoux's finest work. Site-specific theatre makers Teatro Vivo invite you to enter the legend and explore enchanted Abbotsbury alongside performers from the local community, flying aerialists and unearthly characters. The performance will happen outdoors, and will include a walk to the top of Chapel Hill, so dress for all weathers and expect something magical. Please contact us with access requirements or queries, we aim to support those with access needs to be able to enjoy the performance. A collaboration with Aerialist Charlie Bicknell.
