RIDDLES IN THE DARK is a physical theater work inspired by the character of Sméagol/ Gollum from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, written by J.R.R Tolkien. Devised for one dancer, it captures the evolution of the pivotal character through six different scenes. Each scene is based on a critical juncture in the life of the character.
