LIQUIDELIC – Sat 30 March

Experience a majestic feast for the senses with Liquidelic’s breathtaking live performance, fusing analogue liquid-light projections, contemporary jazz dance, and hybrid live original music.

For the last 18 months, Liquidelic have been developing their latest performance suite, titled ‘The Mermaid’, in which the audience is transported into a magical underwater world where they share the story of a mermaid’s journey from childhood innocence, through darkness and trauma, to eventual healing, growth and self-actualization. Join Liquidelic at Drill Hall Theatre as they premiere this groundbreaking show.

‘The Mermaid’ follows the odyssey of Thelia, the mermaid. Born into a magical underwater world, Thelia’s mother imparts wisdom about their submarine playground and teaches her daughter how to wield her innate power to shape the ocean’s currents. As Thelia blossoms into a confident young mermaid, she discovers the whimsical interplay between masculine and feminine energies and learns how to ride the waves and dance within the changing tides.

But darkness looms as a malevolent force infiltrates the crystal blue reef, beckoning Thelia toward its sinister depths. Innocent and curious, Thelia ventures into the Underground World where she becomes trapped by the Shadowman. In a dark and unfamiliar world, Thelia must undergo trials to find her way back to the lighter part of the ocean.

On her adventure, the mermaid traverses several worlds from innocence into darkness, through suffering and struggle, eventually to transformation, growth, and revelation. She discovers the true strength deep within herself and learns the importance of spiritual experiences and emotional catharsis. Presented in a uniquely ‘Liquidelic’ format, her journey is laden with reflections on life’s unavoidable ordeals and triumphs, presenting a compelling exploration of the human condition.

Show starts at 7pm and finishes at 9pm on Saturday 30th March at the Drill Hall Theatre
