Who’s been invited and who got to make the invitations?
Building upon the acclaimed 2019 collaboration We Are All Just Little Creatures, Curious Seed and Lung Ha Theatre Company (in association with Lyra) joined forces once again to present The Table: a bold new intergenerational dance theatre production that asks who gets a seat at the table – and what unfolds once we’re there.
The Table is a world we’ve built together, and now we have to figure out how we all live in it at once.
Blending movement, live music, text, and playful imagery, The Table offers a multi-layered performance experience that invites us to think about where we belong and how we show up for one another.
Woven through with unexpected interventions, The Table exists on the fragile edges of order and chaos, embracing both the joys and the challenges of being together – reminding us that connection can also be messy and unpredictable.
Performances took place at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, from 18-20 June 2026.
While audiences were seated in Traverse 1, The Table included elements of promenade performance throughout the Traverse building as well as gentle audience participation.
