Rachel Mars & Greg Wohead Story #1 Returns (A Zoom Of One's Own)
For the past few years Rachel Mars and Greg Wohead have performed their show Story #1 around the UK.
On Thursday 21st May they are performing a live, online version of the show that can be watched from anywhere in the world.
It's the Zoom performance no one needs, but it's the one we all deserve.
In Story #1 Rachel Mars and Greg Wohead take Pixar's 22 Rules for Storytelling and How Stories Make Us Human, make them fuck each other, kidnap the resulting baby and dance out a prophecy of its future life before its barely opened eyes.
It's a reflective consideration of how and why we construct narrative.
'Imagine a bullfight without the bull: it would be a set of aesthetic manoeuvres, pretty twirls and pirouettes and so on but there'd be no danger. The bull, crucially, brings danger to the party that's what the real is: the tip of the bull's horn.' Tom McCarthy
We promise no less than 100 minutes. We promise live. We promise real fictional characters. We promise a plot. We promise a surprise twist. We promise a rupture. We promise an ending. We promise a rupture.
'It's horrible. Brilliant, scintillating, guillotine catching the sunlight as it falls dazzling, but also horrible.' Maddy Costa, Exeunt
'Story #1 is like a live grenade thrown at television: a thrilling exploration of truth, fiction and the strange space between.' Jonathan Wakeham, Screenwriter
This is a zoom webinar where you will not be seen or heard by the performers or other audience members.
*This performance contains explicit sexual content and images and is therefore recommended for ages 18+.*
