Tongue Twister - May/June 2025
Tongue Twister is one man’s attempt to say tongue twisters in as many different languages as possible. Whilst also trying to dance. And make music. And do all the costume changes without leaving the stage.
A delight for the eyes and ears, created and performed by award-winning performance artist and musician Greg Sinclair, and featuring dazzling costumes and innovative visual design.
Humorous, colourful, rhythmical and odd, Tongue Twister is a celebration of the musical beauty of language.
Commissioned by Imaginate, in partnership with Aberdeen Performing Arts, in association with Showbox Festival and Kloden and supported by North Edinburgh Arts. Funded through the Scottish Government's Festivals Expo Fund.

A performance of thrilling extremes: lots of performers, lots of singing, lots of dancing. Choral singing blends with vocal weirdness, while formal patterns of movement transform into joyous line-dancing. The stage continuously evolves in a spectrum of nothingness to fullness, darkness to colour, silence to music as the exceptional young performers question the universe and their place within it.
Originally produced by National Theatre of Scotland as part of Futureproof Festival.
**** “concentrated vocal and musical energy” Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman.
