Since the apocalypse started, like many others working in live performance I’ve had all my shows cancelled and had to find new ways of working. I was excited to get into Stockholm fringe this year, with my new show Ram of God, and instead of cancelling performances, they’ve decided to stream films of them instead. Since I hadn’t yet made the show or performed it onstage, it’s meant the show is now being conceived as a film that I’ll later translate into a live show. It’s been fun experimenting with the new possibilities and limitations of film, but I do feel like that character in American Beauty who loves plastic bags.
Here’s a bit of what I’ve been working on – this will be near the beginning of the show when I’m trying to lure people into the cult.
You can watch the full version online as part of Stockholm fringe 15th-19th September.
