Under Glass - Bouge de la - BAC

Bouge-de-la is a fairly young company. Several well-known people worked together on this latest project, Under Glass, amongst them Andrew Dawson, currently directing Wallace and Grommit Alive on Stage. After selling out at the premiere in the British Festival of Visual and Devised Theatre, their award-winning creation returns to BAC. And guess what!

The speciality of Bouge-de-la is the so-called design led theatre. In other words, a whole host of surprises await the audience, from people disappearing through sofas to emerge from cupboards to flowers growing through the walls.

The set perfectly complements the story of a young woman neglected by society, desperately trying to come to terms with the real world.
