Event details
If this can happen, anything can happen.
Sea Wall is a delicately devastating monologue, in which photographer Alex attempts to navigate his emotions through a life-changing event. Alex loves his wife, his daughter, and his job, but his contentment falls away into a deep and heart-breaking grief. The waves crash down over you and show that everything you thought dependable can be washed away in an instant. Will you swim, or will you be carried away by the tide and drown in your grief? This beautifully powerful tale of love and loss speaks about the everlasting effects of a tragic day and how it can leave your life crumbling to pieces.
