In 2005 Periplum attracted Made in Brighton, Winchester Hat Fair & South Hill Park Arts Centre to commission a new outdoor project: Arquiem. Inspired by Browning’s poem Porpyhria’s Lover, the show explores public space and entertainment as a primal spectacle. The crowd becomes a mob witnessing the execution of a boy who’s murdered his love. With powerful performances and trademark intense visuals it received fantastic audience responses in Bracknell, Winchester, Knaresborough & London. The show continues to tour.
