Details

Dickie Beau is an actor, physical performer and intrepid drag fabulist. He takes the familiar technique of lip-synch and refines it into an artform, to create work which is funny, virtuosic and eerily beautiful. A pioneering artist whose work spans theatre, cabaret and mime, Dickie Beau elevates the drag tradition of lip-synching through a performance style known as ?playback'. Using salvaged audio recordings which he edits into digital scripts, he channels extraordinary voices onstage, creating an eerie archive of those who might be lost, or are no longer living. Winner of this year's Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award, Beau makes his directorial debut with a haunting ensemble piece, inspired in part by the history of image-making and funerary rituals. Uncanny sound and physical performance animate psychedelic scenes that play on ideas of presence and absence. Running time: 1hr 15mins/no interval. Age guidance: 16+ (contains adult content)
