Britain's What's On Event Guide
Stampin' In The Graveyard
“This is a dispatch from the last theatre still open on this earth: your imagination.”
Rose is an AI chatbot that gives advice for the end of the world, powered by a black box of memories from people whose worlds have already ended. Tonight, Rose unfolds the archives she has salvaged (and fabricates a few in true AI fashion), to learn about the woman who created her.
STAMPIN’ IN THE GRAVEYARD is an immersive headphone experience that fuses poetry, live music and movement to draw the audience into this ephemeral apocalyptic world. Developed by award-winning company Saksi Bisou (2021 OffFest Award Winner; 2022 The Stage Debut Award Winner), the piece curiously explores our lived experiences of migration and exile. How can we reckon with the irrecoverable destruction of our places of belonging? How can we return to worlds that no longer exist? We follow the thread of loss and loneliness that winds through these experiences to discover a resilient hope.
Praise for Past Work:
