Overview

Immersed amongst the beating heart of an ancient tree that’s thriving with life, Rotviska celebrates every step in nature’s journey, where old paves way for new and all living things depend deeply on each other.

Rotviska is a sensory theatre show created especially for children and young people with complex disabilities. Audiences meet characters of the tree and embark on a playful adventure across windswept highs and earthy lows, through tangled roots, twisting branches, and all the space between.

Replay Theatre Company has been partnering with Estrad Norr & Folkteatern Gävleborg on the Scen:se project in Sweden since 2024 to co-produce this beautiful new piece of theatre, touring across Sweden, Spring 2026 and Northern Ireland, Spring 2027.

 

Special Thanks to Arts & Business Blueprint programme for project investment and Culture Ireland for touring support.
