Summer 2020. Pat is an astronaut on the International Space Station. Pat has unilaterally decided to extend his stay on the Space Station. Pat’s wife is not happy about this. Pat’s mission partner is not happy about this. NASA is not happy about this. The only person who doesn’t see this as a problem is Pat. As he becomes emotionally more fragmented, and simultaneously more resolute in his decision to never leave the Space Station, we wonder: is Pat losing his mind or is he the only one who sees clearly?

Promotional picture for Introspection

Introspection

Morosophy Theatre Company

Introspection is a unique approach to storytelling, allowing audiences to create their own narrative in their mind with the assistance of audio, soundscape and one nameless performer, guiding the audience, raising questions such as: 'How do we perceive the world?', 'How do we perceive ourselves?', and 'how do our perceptions change, while our eyes remain the same?' This experience allows audiences to create a stage in their minds, using their senses to experience their own unique performance. The audience's unique experience is a consequence of their own actions, perceptions and the aesthetics of interaction.

Threesome

Almost Professional

Alex and Eve are just like any dysfunctional millennials trying to survive in today’s world. Eve is tired of the misogyny she has to endure in everyday life and Alex... well, Alex just wants to watch TV. In order to afford the rent, they need to interview a potential flat mate. After a string of unsuccessful applicants, mostly due to Alex’s strong opinions and inability to keep any of his thoughts to himself, they meet Evan. The challenge presents itself: Alex has to keep his opinions to himself and Eve needs to try and control her libido. What starts off as a very awkward encounter, quickly develops into a series of unexpected stories and interactions that might just be what each of these three individuals need. Told from the point of view of a real stuttering person, 'Threesome' blends humour, trauma and overall far-fetched themes and opinions that wouldn’t usually work (but do).

Covid Captivity Cabaret: Lockdown Sonnets

Latin Rediscovery

Opera singer Ann Liebeck started writing sonnets about her feelings as lockdown hit the UK at the beginning of the Coronavirus epidemic. Composer Paul Moylan picked up on the dramatic thread of broken dishwashers, panic-buying and genuine grief which led to Paul composing songs to Ann's poems. They communicated by Messenger and WhatsApp and decided to record at distance on their phones with Jonny, Ann's son. And so 'Covid Captivity Cabaret' was born.
