“Tide” Is Coming to 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Experimental performances held at Greenside @ George Street from August 12th - 24th, 2024

Tide presented by The Beachcombers is coming to Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year. Produced, directed, and written by Langyue “Petunia” Hu, the show will run from August 12th - 24th at Greenside @ George Street’s Lime Studio.

Tide follows the love story of two girls as they explore the trauma of sexual assault and familial loss in a problematic silent retreat near the ocean. The show portrays their melancholic yet romantic encounter like a captivating oil painting. It is thrilling, subtle, passionate, and vulnerable in the best way. The stage starts as a blank canvas with three bottles of red, blue, and yellow paint. As the story unfolds, two actors smear the color everywhere, leading up to a forbidden kiss, but with paint.
