Internationally renowned theatre company Re are bringing their show “Birth” to Storyhouse in May as part of their spring tour.

Showcasing movement, visual theatre & original live music, Theatre Re are renowned for their delicate depiction of human emotion. For each show, the company forges intimate collaborations with experts in different fields – such as science, philosophy and public health – as well as community groups, who play a crucial part throughout the devising process and development of their work.

BIRTH, Theatre Re’s sell-out Edinburgh Fringe 2019 hit, is a poignant visual piece of theatre that deals with the under-represented experience of pregnancy loss. BIRTH delves into the bond between three women from the same family, their shared loss and their unconditional love, as well as the strength they discover in each other: Emily is eight months pregnant when she reads her grandmother’s journal. As she delves into the depths of her family history, its pages unveil a legacy of courage, unspoken tragedies and unconditional love.

Praise for BIRTH :

‘An epic dance of life’s ongoing journey’. The Scotsman

‘Moving, painful and uplifting in equal parts, BIRTH is a sensitive and beautiful exploration of humanity’s most universal experiences’. FEST

‘A powerful, pulsating 75 minutes… BIRTH swells and subsides like a symphony’. The Stage

Artistic Director Guillaume Pigé commented : “This is a very special year for us. For the first time, we will have four shows on the road across the UK. This is our opportunity to build audiences and reach more people than ever before. Each production comes with a heap of activities for students and teachers to engage with. We are also making all our work more accessible to the deaf community with BSL integrated or interpreted performances, and workshops in each venue.”
