Picture
Iphigenia Crash Land Falls on the Neon Shell That Was Once Her Heart (A Rave Fable) is a multimedia tragedy in which the long-forgotten Greek heroine of Iphigenia in Aulis finally takes center stage. Previously only spoken about, Iphigenia now gains a voice through poetry in a Brechtian rave against the brutal backdrop of the Cuidad Juarez Murders.

Clumsy Bodies is a new theatre company based in Battersea led by two queer, gender non-conforming artists, with revolving help from artist friends. Oli Smith is a writer and director; their most recent documentary Asexual has been screened at several LGBTQIA festivals, including in Spain, Mexico, Chile, Paraguay and Switzerland. Here, they worked collaboratively with those who self-identy as Ace to challenge assumptions around sexuality and relationships to open a lid on an often silenced world. Jess Rahman-González is an actor and writer; tired of the only available roles being so gender-specific, they wanted to carve their own space out in theatre through writing new roles and narratives. Jess is also a photographer who has recently worked for Arts Sisterhood, a not-for-profit aiming to provide affordable art therapy for women and non-binary people. Jess' photographs have been published in the Metro, gal-dem, and Banshee.
