Concert, Comedy + Ritual
Directed by Afa Foolheart
Damian Mills on electric Djembe
Cat Barter on bass guitar, synth and backing vocals
Me on vocals, guitar, keys/synth and most of the nonsense
A blend of concert, comedy and ritual. The show explores an alternative vision of what it means to “get real” and be truly seen. Rachael and the band leap beyond logic and “shoulds” into the wild heartfelt (non)senses of the body, and the beautiful absurdity of the cosmic joke… No-one is actually in control (aghhhhhhh), and everything is unknown, illusion and up for play (really?).
Can they really allow themselves to be real? What does that even mean? Or will they crumble under the enormous weight of Rachael’s ego?
At the very least there will be some great songs, spanning genres of electro, folk and folk-rock, as well as disco. Also expect crystals, oracle cards, manifestation and taboos like sex, death and rebirth, cos this is going to be spiritual AF. The audience will be invited into some sincere and playful moments of ritual and connection if they so choose to “enhance their experience into higher realms of consciousness”. Don’t worry, you probably won’t be initiated into a cult.
