Polaris by Wariot Ideal from PuppetAnimationScotland.
A story about loneliness and a wait for help that never arrives. A story about the strength of friendship and fidelity. A story of the fight to endure unendurable conditions, of experiencing the tangible warmth of memories and feeling nothing...but the cold.
Polaris draws you into the tale of two 19th century polar explorers who are lost and freezing to death.
Amidst memories of their lives left behind and exposure driven delusions of dancing penguins and hungry wolves, their tale touches on how strongly we strive to live and the haven that companionship can provide.
Polaris harks back to a pioneering age in which exploration was the noblest of pursuits. It paints a stunning tableau of the Arctic landscape in which this young Czech company tell a truly heartfelt tale with such nuance and sensitivity that you can’t help but shiver.
The staging makes great use of simple sound effects and the performers have a stupendous, yet subtle virtuosity.
