Kelsey Siepser with Unmuted Participants (California, USA)

A pandemic-induced trip down memory lane, featuring puppets and a treatise on The Sopranos, is put into hyperspeed when a gender non-conforming praying mantis named E appears in Kelsey’s study. This leads her down a path of discovery of the patterns that shaped who she thinks she is. Before going further, she must uncover a truth she might not be willing to face – at least, not on her own… This piece leans into the voyeuristic nature of Zoom performances, explores the binaries we occupy, and asks how we can leap past old behaviours into the possibilities of the unknown.

I'm Just Saying

Cecelia’s comedic foray into therapy invites you to consider that your way may not be the best way. Revelations abound, like: we all grew up with different rule books and communicating with other humans is like playing a game of telephone. ‘Trust no-one’ is easier said than done, and being in charge is not all it’s cracked up to be. Cecelia learns that being a mother has changed her understanding of everything she believes, loves and trusts, and that she must grow an ultra-thick skin to survive.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

Hot Dog Play

Hot Dog has just been dumped by her girlfriend, Dumpling, and now she must candidly examine what it means to live in a post-Dumpling world. Part love letter, part hate mail, this short confessional wrestles with the difficulties of accepting oneself and living life bravely. Who is responsible for who we are and how we are? How do we discover our authentic self? How do we accept ourselves when we are filled with things we don't understand? Join Hot Dog as she figures out what it means to reconcile with living a life encased.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

Little Parts Hunts a Baby-Daddy

Little Parts is a clown. She is also pregnant. And has always been. So, she's not really sure she'll ever give birth. But despite this conundrum, she is determined to find a good father for her Maybe-Baby; she is certain that at least one of the six applicants who applied online will be the perfect fit. Part confessional, part Bachelorette-wannabe, part puppet show – the selection process swings from absurdly funny to brutally honest as the identity of the real Baby-Daddy dares to come into view.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

The Late Harness Rebellion

Are emotional shackles holding you back? Join Tamás on a journey from childhood in an overprotective family in conservative Hungary to standing on his own feet as an adult in liberal Sweden. How can he manage after such a change? Is he willing to try the unfamiliar just because it is possible? Mixing stand-up comedy, clowning and other visual storytelling methods, this solo show touches on deeply personal stories about loneliness, belonging, low self-esteem and a kissing bench, as well as insights into the Hungarian and the Swedish cultures. Ready to free yourself from those emotional bonds? ‘A hilarious and skilled performance… should definitely be at the top of your to-watch list’ (EdFringeReview.com).www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

Dickin' Around

What does it take to satiate a heartbroken 20-something homosexual with a penchant for deep-diving into the sensory stimuli he finds along the way? In this hour-long piece, Michael lets us into his private world, and invites us to confront and ruminate on the beautiful, the icky, and the confusing together. This show is about sex. This show is not about sex. This show is for anyone who’s ever felt lost at sea and exhausted themselves swimming to shore. Dive underneath the raunch of this show and you’ll find a universally relatable, tender underbelly.Two versions of this piece are available, the film edition, first shown in April 2022 as part of the Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season on C ARTS, and the theatre edition, first shown at the Hollywood Fringe in June 2022.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

Imagining Rachel

Explore environmental icon Rachel Carson’s nature in this wildly inventive solo show from fellow Pittsburgher Elise Robertson, who uses puppets, found objects, and stage wizardry to interweave her own messy coming-of-age with Rachel’s, as they struggle with their identities as artists, mothers, and truth-tellers. ‘An act of performance and activism’ (WellingtonReviews.co.nz). 'Robertson is a gifted storyteller’ (LouReviews.blog). ‘An Alice in Wonderland for nature exploration’ ***** (Audience Review). ‘This one will stay with you. A reflection on science, the fragility and vibrance of the environment, sexism, parenting, and the complexities of human relationships’ ***** (Audience Review). Available in our digital on-demand programme and was performed live in our Edinburgh Fringe 2022 season.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participantswww.eliserobertson.com/imaginingrachelwww.facebook.com/ImaginingRachelwww.instagram.com/ImaginingRachel/ Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Edinburgh Fringe 2022Watch Trailer | Rachel CarsonWatch Trailer | Crop sprayingWatch Trailer | When you're doing all the jobsWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

Boy Crazy Psycho Slut

Like all women, Jo has been called her fair share of things, many not so flattering. She reflects on the labels society has given her from ages 5 to 50, deciding which to accept, and which to jettison like yesterday’s fish. Equal parts comedic and heart-wrenching, this show is meant for anyone who wonders who they are, enjoys pop culture, has sought love, has been a teenager, is worried about ageing, or likes the Ramones (you’ll need to see it to understand). The stories in this show may be fully true, untrue, or something in-between.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participantswww.facebook.com/dellapinawww.instagram.com/dellapina/www.vimeo.com/dellapina Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season

Being Frank

Actor, impersonator, and song-and-dance man Frank Moran celebrates the characters of the Marx brothers as he dexterously weaves their lives into his own. A real ‘New York story,’ Moran spins a rollicking tale of his younger self and all his heroes, including his working-class family, the Broadway greats, and – of course – Groucho Marx. Riddled with stories both comic and tragic, Moran dances, literally, between the comic and the tragic, as he discovers how powerful wearing all these different masks has really become.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participantswww.facebook.com/frankmoran11www.instagram.com/realfrankmoran/www.youtube.com/channel/UCQh8DpbQxDBxDU9URn9I8Tw Watch TrailerWatch Trailer | Unmuted Participants Solo Flight season
