Theatre Horizon's
presentation at the Edinburgh
Festival Fringe
LU-TING THE MERMAN
A
mythical merman tribe in ancient Hong
Kong, the Lu-tings is oppressed by
another dominant culture. They learn the
language of this culture and end up
revolting against them. This is a
touching story told in a theatre style
encompassing dance, masks, live music
and poetry, ‘reminding the audience of
their own heritage.’ (The VileArts)
Theatre
Horizon's creation of The Lu-Tings
premiered in the Edinburgh Festival
Fringe in August, 2014. It was highly
regarded by the local audience and
critics alike. The Lu-Tings was chosen
to be one of 30 theatre performances to
be archived at the National Library of
Scotland by the Fringe Performance
Archive.

Review
The Vile Blog |
The Lu-tings / Gareth Vile
2014.8.7
// The story
is told clearly and with passion, a charming
introduction to a style of theatre that is equal
parts poetry and dance: the political subtext is
present but is never allowed to overwhelm the
immediacy of the plot.//
