Description
Life comes to us in the same way the ocean approaches its shore. What is brought with it, and what is taken away again, often lies with forces larger than us.

So what remains after?
After a love, a loss or a fatal choice?
What remains?

The tidemark left behind is a constant reminder that separates the before from the after. The imprint remaining; an invisible scar or a deeply treasured memory. Are we each other’s tidemarks? Which tidemarks have become our common history, our common burden, our common book of memories? Which tidemarks have shaped and marked us, to who we have become?

Tidemarks is a series of adaptations presented as part of the 4th year Theatremaking students program. Starting with a South African short story, the theatremakers undergo a 5 week exploration in discovering how to shift the medium of the written word into the physical and visual theatrical space.
