 What's on: Little Otik
Where: Citizens Theatre, Glasgow
When: Friday 23rd - Saturday 31st May
ArtsPass Offer: 2 for 1 tickets
Based on the film by Jan Svankmajer. Adapted by Matthew Lenton with Sandy Grierson & The Company. A couple, desperate but unable to start a family, develop an intense relationship with a tree stump carved to look like a baby. Believing it to be real, gradually their obsession brings the lump of wood to life. As the fixation grows, so does the ‘baby' and its monstrous appetite. Not content with baby food, it eats the family cat and then the postman. Things get stranger when the social worker arrives to see what's going on...
Taken from the wonderfully twisted imagination of cult Czech film-maker Jan Svankmajer, Little Otik combines dark humour, surreal horror and an unnerving but tender family story. Brought to the stage for the first time in a collaboration between Vanishing Point and the National Theatre of Scotland, Little Otik is a macabre and fantastical story for the 21st century.
