Performer: Gecko

Memorable moments of metaphor and symbolism punctuate a thoughtful work about the vagaries of modern life 

Gecko closed the London International Mime Festival this weekend at the Royal Opera House Linbury Studio, with Missing, a vivid piece of dance theatre.

Gecko visited The Place last week with Missing, a thrillingly dark narrative of a woman struggling with shadows of her past, as she is bombarded with the present demands of her fast-paced life. What made this performance so captivating was not necessarily the story itself, but the creative and technical choices made by director Amit Lahav and the performers to enrich this story.
