Snails & Ketchup

Inspired by Italo Calvino’s ‘Baron in the Trees’, Snails & Ketchup is the darkly comic tale of a dysfunctional family, following a frenzied and disappointed son who takes to the trees to live an arboreal existence in disgust at his ever changing home and brutal environment. Snails & Ketchup is a dark work powerfully told through solo performer Ramesh Meyyappan’s masterful storytelling. It uses physical performance, an ingenious aerial set and aerial choreography, projections and a live score, to poignantly unfold in front of us the lives of a young boy and his sibling, from the traumatic birth of the twins to a typical family dinner… Ramesh’s exceptional physicality and extensive imagination allow him to embody the four members of this quirky family and remind us that despite familial love being unconditional, it is sometimes impossible to exist with those we hold dear. Those of you who have not yet seen one of Meyyappan's shows, hold your heads in shame….he may be the best we have.” - The Flying Inkpot 2007

Unspoken Voices

Unspoken Voices is a full-length, ensemble work that highlights the relationship between the three central characters (Sita, Rama and Ravana) from the Indian epic the Ramayana. The work explores the shifting relationships and internal struggles of each character in a tender, violent and passionate journey that has no beginning, middle or end. Choreography: Seeta Patel Set: Chris Faulds Lighting and visuals: Alberto Santos Bellido Sound Design: Guy Veale Created as during her time as Associate Artist at Arnolfini, the work was major shift in Patel's practice bringing together a collaborative team of artists and directing such a complex work. Bristol City Council's Debbie Thomas was quoted to say the following about the piece: "This was an inspiring work with high quality dancing and demonstrated how Seeta can bring together and deliver her vision with a collaborative team. There were some beautiful expressive moments where choreography, lighting, set and music worked poignantly together so the visual images have remained with me long after seeing the work. I only wish I could see it again!"
