Using salvaged audio recordings edited into digital scripts, Dickie Beau channels extraordinary voices onstage, creating an eerie archive of those who might otherwise be lost or are no longer living.
A pioneering artist whose work spans theatre, cabaret and mime, Dickie Beau elevates the drag tradition of lip-synching through a performance style known as 'playback'.
Winner of this year’s Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award, Beau makes his directorial debut and performs in a haunting ensemble piece, inspired in part by the history of image-making and funerary rituals. Atmospheric sound integrates uncannily with physical performance to animate psychedelic scenes that play on questions of presence and absence.
