THAT’S Amoré is a fast-paced, hilarious and highly-visual exploration of the thrills and dangers of surrendering ourselves to romance.
Presented by Tmesis Theatre, the passionate and poignant show examines the world and culture of romantic love: from chance encounters to hidden desires, and emotional extremes to the science of romance, it explores the flesh and philosophy behind what makes our hearts beat faster.
That’s Amoré combines the company’s trademark physicality with an ensemble of mesmerising performers and an eclectic soundtrack featuring music from Dean Martin to Bonnie Tyler to Leonard Cohen, as well as some beautiful original scores.
Tmesis Theatre has toured across the world, earning a reputation nationally and internationally for its unique style of movement-based theatre. Melding text from award-winning writer Chris Fittock and with stunning visuals, original music and pop classics, their latest production explores how desire lift us up, turns us inside out and just how funny it makes us behave.
That’s Amoré can be seen at the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Saturday, at 7.45pm. Tickets, priced from £10 to £15, or £6 for under 30s on proof of ID, are available from the box office on 01723 370541 and online at sjt.uk.com
Suitable for ages 14 and over.
Tmesis Theatre is also running a free physical theatre workshop for students aged 14 and over in conjunction with its new show, That’s Amoré, on Saturday, from noon to 2pm, at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
