One of The Guardian’s Cultural Highlights. ‘An intense nocturnal promenade, making striking use of stilts &
pyrotechnics.’ ‘Arquiem is a piece crackling with dark energy & many stunning
visual moments. The site is used to full advantage – Periplum prove
that outdoor theatre is an appropriate medium for dark and thought-provoking
work to chilling effect on the senses. Beautifully written & performed.
This looks to evolve into a truly great outdoor show.’ ‘The programme opened with two stunning performances in Wimborne
Minster of Arquiem, a dark folk tale presented by Brighton-based theatre
company Periplum. An audience of nearly 1,500 followed the tale of a doomed
young man who murders his lover and pays the ultimate price.’ ‘Superb drama & beautifully conceived. A powerful, atmospheric
telling of the story of a youth who murdered his love’ ‘A powerful, atmospheric telling of the story of a youth who murdered
his love. Chilling & beautiful.’ ‘Arquiem is another one of Periplum Theatre Company's timeless and
dramatic outdoor site-specific productions. The final image of the boy
was beautiful and moving, and the crowd around me took on the mob mentality
all too readily - baying for his blood with frightening conviction.’
