The Raft of the Crab

When a crustacean gatecrashes your birthday party and drags you into an odyssey of the mind, recovery becomes anything but ordinary. This striking true story from Ninon Noiret explores her experience with Cancer and her journey to recovery. Told through ‘nasty’ puppetry, contemporary dance and gravity-defying stunts on a 5-metre Chinese Pole, The Raft of the Crab is a powerful exploration of the individual nature of physical illness and what it really takes to recover.
