In this solo performance, somewhere between jazz and stand-up comedy, darkly humorous true stories about other people mix with a haunting soundscape.
Uplifting and bleak, deep and silly, a musical score is created live, electronically looping clarinet, trumpet and everyday objects.
This final piece in an acclaimed trilogy of works inverts the formula of the first two pieces – of autobiographical anecdotes and large ensembles – with stories about other people, other places, and other times set to intimate solo soundscapes that seem to emerge from thin air.
Ahamefule J. Oluo (they/them) is an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, composer, writer, comedian, and creator of live performance.
Support act Ellen Beth Abdi is a Mancunian music-maker using live loops, undulating synths and quietly subversive lyrics to mould her unique sound.
