A journey through the unknown waters of love and change

In her first Dutch theatre premiere at Frascati, Ruth Borg invites the audience to enter those unknown waters. With music, movement, text and theatre, she explores the moments when the waters we thought we knew suddenly begin to move. When someone we love changes, disappears or becomes someone we no longer recognise. Or when life itself changes shape.

In recent years, Ruth's work has revolved around love and the ways in which we relate to one another. With Here Be Dragons, she turns her gaze to the dragons we encounter within ourselves, in each other and in life. What happens when we encounter something we would rather avoid? How can we relate to that which seems impossible to love?

Together with her dear, regular artistic partners Fleur van den Berg and Jethro Cooke, Ruth Borg created Here Be Dragons: an invitation to keep sailing when life takes us beyond the familiar. When the map ends and the only way forward is to keep meeting what presents itself. Perhaps with a little more curiosity.
