Sealskin is an old selkie tale of the sea.
Every full moon the Selkies appear, peeling away their seal skin, dancing freely in the moonlight. One night a fisherman discovers their secret, and we see the betrayal and consequences that follow.
Exploring ideas of belonging, otherness and home, Sealskin combines Tmesis’ trademark playful and highly skilled physicality, puppetry, storytelling, incredible projection design and live original music from acoustic duo Me and Deboe.

“Tmesis is a company that is constantly changing and challenging itself, setting ever higher standards and examining the collective human experience in different ways.
