Sealskin combines Tmesis’ trademark playful and highly skilled physicality, puppetry, storytelling, incredible projection design and live original music from acoustic duo Me and Deboe.

Sealskin is an old selkie tale of the sea.

Every full moon the selkies appear. Peeling away their seal skin, they dance freely in the moonlight. However, when a fisherman discovers their secret and a skin is stolen, witness the betrayal and consequences that follow.
