Deliverance


Hey
Have you looked in the mirror lately?
Go on
Do it now
Look
Keep looking
​Strike a pose
Look again
Who are you these days?
 
You ordered a performance, we’re here to deliver. A set of instructions straight to your door. You’re a natural performer, after all. You’re performing all the time. We’ll perform it with you at a safe distance. Don’t worry, no one is looking. No one is looking but you. The buzzer is for you, the performance is by you, about you. We made it especially. A treat. We hope it sets you free.

 Deliverance is a step to remove the spectator altogether and make work that is solely participatory. This idea of not-watched performance is derived from a school of thought that all our actions are performative. This includes gender, a performance we would like to interrogate. 

We’re here to deliver all you need to go on a journey. You make and are the show. We’ll hold your hand throughout, from a safe distance of course. You’re a great performer, did you know that? 
​
 Brite Theater are thrilled to have Deliverance, our boldest experiment to date, produced by Vanishing Point, the Scottish visionaries of theatre. Their support is instrumental to our growth as a company and artists, and we can’t thank them enough. We'd also like to thank Creative Scotland for funding our current tour. 

19 Poems

From the 1st of February to the 20th we posted a poem a day made especially for our audiences who submitted requests through our social media channels. The project kicked off with a film of Two People, Alone . It stars the fantastic Danielle Jam and Sandy Bain, who filmed the piece in their home. Words by Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir. Music by Tom Oakes. The film was made with support from Allan Wilson. If you enjoy the film please consider buying us a ko-fi. All support greatly appreciated!  You can find the rest of the poems on our Facebook page or Twitter account.
