We’re really excited to be welcoming internationally-celebrated physical theatre company Gecko to Storyhouse for the first time!
We are all married, bound by a contract. But what are the terms of this relationship? And can we consider a divorce?
Led by Amit Lahav, The Wedding is inspired by the complexities of human nature: the struggle between love and anger, creation and destruction, community and isolation. In a blur of wedding dresses and contractual obligations, an extraordinary ensemble of international performers guides audiences through a dystopian world in which we are all brides, wedded to society.
Combining movement, imagery and provocative narratives in the company’s trademark style, Gecko’s seventh touring production brings these contracts into question with an emotionally charged and spectacular performance.
We all want to believe in our journey, but where are we heading? Is it too late to stop, to go back, to fall in love, or to start again?
Schools & Education
To support the return to cultural education, Gecko are offering six free workshops to local state schools that book to see the show. These are offered on a first-come-first serve basis and you will be provided with a link to book once a booking for the show is confirmed. Further workshops or workshops for private schools will receive a 10% discount when booked in conjunction with the show. To book, please email groups@storyhouse.com
Following the performance on Wed 16 and Thu 17 Feb, Gecko will host a free 30 minute post-show discussion to give you the opportunity to share your thoughts and questions with the devising performers.

For each of their current touring shows including this one, Gecko have created a Sound World document to enable D/deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audience members to understand the soundscape of each show and how it feeds into the other elements of their performances.
