By Caroline King - March 14, 2014Posted in : Theatre

£: Tickets cost £12.95/£10.95).

What is it?

Two Destination Language present Near Gone at Jacksons Lane on 21st and 22nd March.  Near Gone is a heartfelt story about survival.

Two performers have a difficult tale to tell.  They come on stage and launch themselves into an hour-long attempt to put into words the utterly unspeakable.

Delivered in English and Bulgarian, with pounding gypsy-inspired music, this beautiful performance fills an empty space with two performers, hundreds of fresh flowers and a storm of emotion.  A performance piece that packs a punch; transforming your very sense of what it is to be a mother, a father, a child.  And you’ll leave more fully alive than ever.

Near Gone is a Colchester Arts Centre commission, supported by Arts Council England and The Point, Eastleigh.
