Floating by Hoipolloi (Wales)
At Harbourfront Centre World Stage
February 15-19, 2011

A fantastical tale of the island that floated away.

Amid a cornucopia of clutter on stage − newfangled props, costumes, maps, lamps, fishing rods, globes, slide projectors and more lo-fi technology − Floating is a simple story of the Welsh island of Anglesey suddenly and miraculously coming adrift from the bridge that attaches it to the United Kingdom.
