Theatre / Bristol
Simultaneous theatre between Bristol, Uganda and Rwanda
Auditions are taking place on Wednesday for performers to take part in a unique theatrical production that will use digital technology to link performance spaces and audiences across three different countries.
Can You Hear Me Now? will be performed simultaneously in Bristol, Kampala in Uganda and Kigali in Rwanda.
Bristol theatre arts organisation MAYK, the producers of Mayfest, are partnering with Ubumuntu Festival in Kigali and Theatre Factory in Kampala to commission one artist in each country to work together to create a new live performance that explores the lives of young people in each of the three cities.
is needed now More than ever
Wanted for Can You Hear Me Now? are young people aged 15 to 21 who are interested in delving into the world of digital technology and exploring what the internet means to them and to people in other countries; and who are happy to work with other young people to devise theatre using their own ideas, beliefs and experiences.
There will also be the chance to learn a Rwandan dance routine.
A workshop audition exploring the themes of the project takes place on Wednesday, August 9 between 6pm and 8pm at Baggator in Easton.
If you would like to attend, please please email amanda@mayk.org.uk with your name and age.
Rehearsals will take place on Tuesday nights from 6pm to 8pm, with a session in August and then weekly sessions from September until the performance in October.
