MAIM

By Alastair C. Whyte & CAST

“When the water comes suddenly, what do we lose?”

MAIM, meaning panic in Gàidhlig, is a call to action, giving voice to the frustrations of the next generation who care deeply about the crisis facing their land and language.

This unique collaboration between Theatre Gu Leòr and the band WHɎTE was inspired by exquisite tracks from their latest album, Tairm, and will feature live music, dance, spoken word and video.

★★★★
“ An unforgettable combination of song, imagery and movement; delivered by four fine performers ”
The Scotsman

★★★★
“ A fascinating live collage of music, word and movement….a bubbling hybrid that is part elegy, part call to arms ”
The Herald

★★★★
“ A unique hybrid that works its spell slowly, exerting an increasingly powerful pull… the show’s accumulative effect is startling ”
The Times
