Double Fringe First winners, CoisCéim present this heart warming and moving duet. The show embodies the relationship between a mother and son and their mutual love for swimming and dancing. Shared pasts intertwine and build gently like a rising tide. Life stories are told with humour to the sultry tones of Nat King Cole.
What really makes this piece powerful is its autobiographical nature, with the two performers opening up to the audience what is one of the most important relationships in anybody’s life.
