Bites by Kay Adshead: A Tasting Workshop

Bites by Kay Adshead is a theatrical banquet — a poetic feast of cruelty, resilience, and survival. This October workshop will explore two of its seven “courses” through improvisation, physical action, and ensemble work. The aim is not to present a finished performance, but to invite audiences into a shared theatrical ritual where fragility and imagination become tools of resistance. This October process aims to explore how the poetic writing — more lyrical and elusive than narrative — can open up to multiple interpretations. In this phase, all geographic references will be removed, shifting the focus away from a specific place or time toward a more universal condition. Situations change, contexts shift, yet dynamics of power, violence, and the denial of human rights repeat themselves: “If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change” (Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, The Leopard).
