THE Borders will be transformed into an 'unorthodox runway' this month as a 'hit' production returns with a new cast.

Two years ago award-winning theatre makers Two Destination Language premiered their production Fault Lines, which had a performance in Selkirk in February 2020.

However, the production is now bringing its show on the blurring of cultural lines – which features a diverse cast – to the Melrose Corn Exchange at the end of this month.

A spokesperson said: "Examining the ever blurring cultural lines between how we look and how we see each other, Fault Lines brings six strong, brave and diverse performers together to share one stage, with each audience member navigating their own sound path through the performance.

"It’s a cast that is diverse in background, diverse in colour, and diverse in ability.

"Audiences will meet performer and award-winning BSL interpreter Caroline Ryan; dancer Welly O’Brien; performer Rachel Glover; dancer and BSL performance maker Irina Vartopeanu; dancer, theatre maker, facilitator and micro-activist Emma Jayne Park; and choreographer and member of the Meraki Collective Emilie Lahouel.

"All six try on a pantheon of personas through changing costumes and physicalities, as they show us the many versions of who they are."

The performance is described as a 'historical, political, musical silent disco' as audience members are invited to use the Listen Everywhere app and headphones where they can move through six channels which fit into the production.

The spokesperson added: "This is a show that foregrounds the beauty in our differences. Under the experimental eyes of creative duo Alister Lownie and Katherina Radeva, venues across the UK will transform into unorthodox runways for an unmissable live performance experience.

"Combining playfulness, movement and text, Fault Lines invites us to question our own assumptions in this powerful play of identity, equality and inequality in this time of tectonic shifts. This is Susan Sontag meets America’s Next Top Model."

Fault Lines take to Melrose Corn Exchange on Saturday, April 30 at 7.30pm (doors open at 7pm).

Tickets are £8 and the performance is open to people aged 14 and over.
