THE PROMISE of theatre in unusual places is coming to Reading next week, as Sitelines returns.
The Land’s Heart Is Greater Than Its Map is a special guided tour, not to the Ding, but to the only city that exists twice – once on earth, and once in heaven.
Organisers say that this is a far away city that cannot be named, its people are silenced and the landscape is disappearing.
You can see the sea, but cannot touch it. Being honest is illegal. And so on.
But to ensure the story is told, a resident writes them down.
The result is walking tour through the streets of Reading, compiled by Palestinian filmmaker, writer and actor Ramzi Maqdisi, and director and writer Olivia Furber.
Participants wear headphones to go on a pre-planned route through Reading, starting from South Street arts centre. It lasts around 70 minutes and is for ages 12 upwards.
It runs from 6pm on Wednesday, May 25 through to Friday, May 27, and at noon and 3pm on Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29.
Tickets cost £15, or £13 for members.
