Voicebox: Edinburgh Fringe

Mandla Rae introspectively explores their thought processes in a video performance. They depict life as a refugee from Zimbabwe, and how family dynamic, local systemic racism, and identity confusion intertwine and have made them who they are today. 

A multimedia, virtual gallery that the viewer explores through a 3D gaming-based experience, Every Dollar is a Soldier/With Money You’re a Dragon is a unique, collaborative piece of art with unfortunate technical issues

Deeply personal and conscious of its own format, Farah’s Ellipsis opens up the symbiotic relationship between audience and comic in this stand-up show that uses her own experiences to criticise British society’s grief culture

Janine Harrington’s dance piece hypnotizes and entrances in a homage to screensaver programmes.

“A post-menopausal straight, white woman with a Facebook page… kill me now!”

An asexual coming of age story, Love Me shines a spotlight on the anxiety of self-discovery with well-told raw emotion, but rushes through too many story beats and supporting characters to fully reach its potential. 

As utterly baffling as it is captivating. In this absurd, clownish performance Julia Masli combines highly experimental comedy with mesmerising visual lunacy to create… I’m not entirely sure what.

An enjoyably daft and visually captivating take on the absurdity of customer service jobs.

A promising debut production that unfortunately falters in its writing and pacing, Madhouse depicts the chaotic nature of student living with its rag-tag cast of characters.

Ensemble Mik Nawooj, with assistance from rapper Sandman, perform through the Fringe’s on-demand service, theSpaceUK. The orchestral display succinctly integrates music and dance within one short video production.

A one-man show starring Michael Patrick, My Left Nut addresses the distress of a swollen testicle and sets this against the backdrop of adolescence, culminating in a hilarious show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

Built around a series of real letters sent between two lovers from Glenesk, separated by the Atlantic ocean, Miss Lindsay’s Secret intricately explores themes of material storytelling and lost love, but falters a little at the emotional peaks
