Launch event 5 February 2020

Drawing Fault Lines is a selection of drawings that form a fundamental element of the making and devising process of Fault Lines, a new performance work by Two Destination Language theatre company that premieres at Summerhall during Manipulate Festival 2020.
Each drawing is a window into a situation that invites the viewer to create their own story and narrative unraveling before them. Each window – an opportunity, someone’s story, someone’s history, your gaze, and your assumptions.
Drawing Fault Lines is a unique insight into the process of theatrical image-making. Part storyboard, part fantasy, this exhibition foregrounds a way of thinking, looking and imagining a live event through the medium of drawing.
