Turtle Key Arts and Courtyard Hereford present Open Sky Theatre’s feature-length film, COLD - a dark fairy tale about love, grief, madness and redemption.
From an antenatal hospital appointment a couple find themselves mysteriously transported to a stark, frozen forest. Lost, cold and hunted by a terrifying beast, they must save themselves and their unborn child. So begins a struggle for survival involving hostile elements, malign magical forces and a truly terrible choice.
COLD was created by acclaimed, Lecoq-trained physical theatre maker Claire Coaché and her husband, the award-winning playwright and film-maker Lisle Turner. It is based on their own experiences of baby loss and first person testimony from other grieving parents.
The project was conceived and rehearsed as a physical theatre piece but then, in response to lockdown, shot as a film on the main stage of Courtyard Hereford.
There will be a free
live online symposium featuring Claire and Lisle and experts within the field of baby loss and miscarriage. All are welcome to attend.
Contains images of baby loss and miscarriage.
