EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Two Man Show
By: Natalie O'Donoghue Jul. 14, 2017
Tell us a bit about Two Man Show
Two Man Show is very difficult to describe in words, and the inadequacy of language is something we explore in the show. It is about masculinity. It is about femininity. It is about everything in between. It is about re-thinking patriarchal history. It is about two brothers. It is about the things we can't say with words. It is funny. It is serious. It is movement. It is music. It is very very loud. It is very very quiet.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
Edinburgh was a great place to debut the show last year. It feels like audiences there want to be challenged, so it's an ideal place to try out a show that experiments with form and pushes us, as performers, to our limits. We ended up selling out the whole month last year and it felt like more people still wanted to see it so we want to return to share it with as many people as we can.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
All shows are set apart from each other by the people who make them and the people who perform them. This show is a culmination of what we've been trying to make and say for years. Only we could have got to this point, at this time, to make this show.
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
Anyone over age sixteen. We have to say that because we get naked. But anyone, really. Anyone who likes theatre, movement, live music, and is willing to reimagine the status quo. Or anyone who isn't. Maybe especially them.
Why is it important for people to see?
It has prompted a lot of post show discussions about gender construction and what it feels like to be a man / woman / other today. A lot of people leave feeling empowered or questioning or torn apart... it seems to have an impact, whatever that is for each individual.
Timings and ticket information for Two Man Show are available on the edfringe website.
