Elke by Sarah Farrell:
A devised, interactive piece of theatre exploring the life and work of pioneering lichenologist and Trans woman Elke Mackenzie. We will draw the audience through her microscope and into a queer lichen cabaret where questions of legacy, the queerness of nature and Trans joy are explored. Like lichen, which exists in a liminal space between organisms, this show will be a meeting point of forms: live micro-cinema, drag, cabaret, and music.
Ratkin by Ruben San Roman Gamez:
Ratkin finds us in a speculative future where human civilisation is nowhere to be found. Living below the tattered dark sky, and amidst the junkyard piles are the scampering, scratching Ratkin, a mutant species of rodent humanoids. Fusing slapstick with versatile scenography and projections, we utilise moveable fixtures of the set to create dynamic and acrobatic choreographies that interact with the architecture of the world.
