Doorway to Perception asks the audience to consider music as both memory and as part of their own story. Karen Cecilia performs the theremin throughout; a uniquely ethereal, body-responsive instrument that becomes both a musical and symbolic conduit as we journey between sound, story, identity, and political agency.
Doorway to Perception asks the audience to consider what music offers us in a time when public expression is increasingly fraught. As political forces attempt to dictate narratives, the act of listening, and of creating, becomes a form of defiance. Each performance includes structured audience participation as Karen tells personal musical memories that become a living part of the work.

Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
