LINEUP:
Mistaken for a Tourist by Dubious Company
“I love your accent, are you from Sweden?”
The moment we open our mouths to speak we tell a story, the story of our “home”. Dubious’ new show ‘Mistaken for a Tourist’ is an experiment that hopes to depict questions that go past bilingual small talk.
This performance lecture explores what it means to have an accent, how the bilingual brain woks and what it means to coexist in an ostensibly monolingual city. It gets intersected by streams of consciousness monologues devised by bilingual theatre makers. It is about exploring how one’s personality changes based on the language that you speak; how frustrating it is when your monolingual fiends don’t know how funny you are in another language.
Who took my voice by Jash (Liangqing Yuan)
Who Took My Voice is a radical theatrical sound performance that delves into the experience of being an introverted East Asian queer person facing systemic silencing.
On stage, three performers deliver situational encounters, appearing to be the main protagonists of the story. Yet, the true narrator is the artist—the central figure of the work—who remains present but on the periphery, controlling a dynamic, layered audio-visual landscape in real time. This soundscape is built from fragmented speech, emotional music, and manipulated voices, serving as the artist's intense, internal dialogue.
The show’s distinction lies in this powerful subversion: the controlled silence and marginal presence of the protagonist versus the staged dominance of others. This dynamic creates a compelling, visceral experience for the audience. Instead of hearing the narrative, you are invited to actively listen to the abstract language of sound and image, engaging in a unique form of empathy with the protagonist’s untold story.
Life in 3 Words by The Fever Kinetic
What are the words that built you? In this intimate and “choose your own adventure” performance, you guide a single actor-curator through life’s most potent moments. By selecting prompts from “I love you” to “I’m leaving you,” you dictate the sequence of poignant vignettes, creating a different emotional journey every night.
Viewed through a migrant and ‘third culture kid’ lens, the show becomes a profound cultural exchange. It explores the longing for words unspoken in one’s heritage and the beautiful, varied ways love, apology, and grief are articulated across the world.
Join us for a shared exploration of memory and consequence. Discover how we are all “built on the words handed to us,” and reflect on the universal weight of the language we give and receive.
A scratch performance by The Fever Kinetic Theatre company.
SIGH by Francisco Díaz Pacheco
"SIGH" is a bold and physical new show exploring how everyday routines, family history and political memory shape a queer life. Patíco’s predictable daily —wake, work, sleep—suddenly fractures after one phone call, pulling him back into memories he has tried to leave behind.
The piece moves fluidly between present-day London and Patíco’s childhood in Chile, revealing how life under dictatorship, strict ideas of masculinity and unspoken family trauma continue to shape his relationships and sense of self. As heartbreak, desire and grief collide, memories slip into dreams and reality becomes elastic.
Through movement, text and sound, -SIGH- offers audiences an intimate, accessible and emotionally rich portrait of a man navigating queerness, loss and the complicated legacy of a father he never fully understood.
