A solo performance exposing one woman's sense of rage and loss will be staged at Lyth Arts Centre next month as part of a Scotland-wide tour.
Unbecoming, created and performed by Anna Porubcansky, uses traditional song, myth, movement and immersive looping soundscapes.
It is presented by Company of Wolves, described as Scotland’s only laboratory theatre company.
After travelling around the Highlands and Islands last autumn, Unbecoming is heading across Scotland to nine more venues – finishing at Lyth on Wednesday, March 29 (7.30pm).
The tour starts with two shows in Skye before going to Glasgow, Greenock, Musselburgh, Melrose, Edinburgh and St Andrews.
Unbecoming looks at the rage and loss of a woman "who has become everything to everyone, except to herself".
Anna explained: “This performance first began as an attempt for me to understand my own emotional responses when my first child was born.
"Becoming a mother tore every shred of who I thought I was away from me. I got lost in a vortex of conflicting emotion, demands and responsibilities so much bigger than myself.
"It made me question who I am as a woman, who I was as a girl, what I’ve lost and gained along the way. I needed to have all of that taken away in order to start understanding what I was missing.”
Company of Wolves is led by co-artistic directors Ewan Downie and Anna Porubcansky. Their work is said to exist "on the border between dance, theatre, live music and improvisation".
Tickets (£10) can be booked on the Lyth Arts Centre website.
