These Old Shoes
Conceived and Directed by Diogo Lopes
Created by the Ensemble
Inspired by stories from the ensemble's own families, These Old Shoes investigates the richness that comes with a lifetime of memory and experience. Surrounded by moving boxes and a grandfather clock, an old man is learning to say goodbye as the time approaches to leave his life-long home for a "retirement community." Brimming with humor and heart, this story of second chances follows the breadcrumb trail of memory in hopes of finding something that once was lost.
Transatlantic Love Affair’s fourth production, These Old Shoes, originally premiered at the 2013 MN Fringe Festival and was remounted at the Illusion Theater in 2015. The piece was hailed as "a quietly moving production that sometimes feels like three-dimensional poetry..." by the Pioneer Press and "an achingly lovely show" on theater blog Cherry and Spoon.

As an artistic community, we value the role of collaboration in the creation of original work; we commit ourselves to the imaginative telling of relevant stories; we believe the human body to be the ultimate theatrical instrument.
