You wake up
You haven’t woken up before
You hear a voice
This voice
Shivery in the salt and you
Is this what you sound like?
You look around
And see what you can’t yet name
Which you know as nothing
You look down and…
You appear to have tentacles?
An immersive audio-visual experience with a branching narrative created by you: a newly awakened octopus. Begin your journey - phone light in hand - to the molten centre of the earth /or/ the cold reaches of distant space to find your missing mother.
you wake up / octopus is an ethereal and moving exploration of identity, gender, loss and (re)discovery performed in collaboration with its audience.
“Keep up the good work producing cutting-edge theatre for everyone in London”
