Lost Ones: Synopsis

Lost Ones is a surreal, fantastical adventure about a man whose unusual past is coming back to haunt him. Strange creatures are emerging from his body and disappearing through a hole in the skirting board. Each carries a bag in which something valuable is being smuggled to the void on the other side.

It all goes back to an incident at the top of a mountain, a class outing years before. A group of extraordinary children at the notorious academy, St Peter’s On The Hill, are taken on a day out by their teacher. Only one child comes back, but what happened on that mountain? And why has it come back to haunt our hero now?

Based on a series of extraordinary short stories by Matthew Lenton, Lost Ones is a strange, beautiful and ever so slightly twisted piece with performance, extraordinary design and anarchic live music.
