Jung Borthwick, Gim Bap

​

Jung-hee, a first-generation immigrant, hosts a live-stream cooking show where she makes gimbap, a traditional Korean dish. Through the process of cooking and interacting with viewers, Jung-hee explores themes of identity, cultural differences, and the isolation of living abroad. The show juxtaposes the vibrant energy of her broadcast with the quiet loneliness she feels once the camera turns off.​​

Alex Robins, Meet Mayor Max​

"An unbelievable true story told by someone who made themselves a part of it. While learning about Max, we ask questions about belief, eccentricity and purpose.

Henry Everett, Pan the Wild God is Dead

​

Performance storyteller Henry Everett brings wild tales from Ancient Greece of the Great God Pan. Deep in the wilds of Arcadia, the first ever Satyr, Pan is born. He is to become God of pasture, overlord of wild creatures, ruler of solitary places. He will save the Gods in Olympus and change all life on Earth, yet his tale is a tragedy.

Nuria and Weird Baby, Weird Plymouth

Master of the Music: A musical clowning performance which explores the sacrifices of musical excellence through humour. Through reinterpretations of canonical Classical music pieces, Nuria questions the conventions of the world of Classical music.

Weird Baby is the chaotic brainchild of Grace Lightman and Cestra. Weird Baby is the alter ego of Grace Lightman and Cestra. Weird Baby is a chaos experiment in production and action, the only rule is say yes to everything. Expect brown leotards, electronic music and a lot of jumping.

​

Crumbling Rocks Theatre, Rhizome Tears

 

 

Rhizome Tears is a live art performance that explores a personal relationship between mental health, the city and nature. Seeking to tap into a deeply felt anger, frustration and sadness of concrete jungles, materialism and late-stage capitalism, and then provide a sharp relief by lightheartedly entering our happy place somewhere out in nature, where none of those things seem to matter anymore.
