Comb
When Charlotte was a child her Grandad told her the beginning of a story but refused to tell the full tale. Years later a chance encounter led her to find the rest of his story buried deep within an archive gathered from families in Ireland. Not only did she discover this unbelievable link to her past but also the more startling realisation that she might actually be cursed.
At times chilling, hilarious and moving Comb is a lament for the stories and people we have lost. Through a tangled ride into Celtic, Slavic and Siberian folklore, it is a clarion call for understanding just how interwoven we all are.
Charlotte tells stories in theatres, clubs, on the street and around campfires. She is drawn to the place where mythology, folklore, history, science and the everyday meet. Also a circus performer and Artistic Director of leading contemporary circus company Ockham’s Razor, Charlotte has developed a unique, highly physical style. She disentangles tales of power and transformation and asks how do we make sense of the stories we have.
