A Crash Course in Cloudspotting asks you to connect with the subversive act of lying down. It’s about public rest and acts of bravery we don't see. About scaling the distances and depths of human connection. The piece is part verbatim theatre, part meditation on rest, gravity and connection.
Raquel has gathered over 300 stories from people living with invisible disabilities and chronic illnesses. This dynamic 35 minute installation and performance invites audiences into the heart of these experiences, while participants from across the UK illuminate the space with a gentle choreography of lights. Patterns of rest unfolding in real time, transcending the limits of locality. Expect a rare and intimate audio journey of fragile beauty, just for you.
Horizon Showcase is an exciting week-long programme at Edinburgh Fringe Festival delivered by a consortium of six organisations, including MAYK. The programme highlights shows from nine stand-out artists and performance companies, created in England. Horizon is one of four showcase programmes of work from UK nations at the Edinburgh Festivals, featuring exceptional pieces ready for international touring and commissioning.
