Glimmer of a Rainbow


Aoife Fagan with Unmuted Participants (California, USA)

Ivory, tortoise shells, human teeth – you can make jewellery out of almost anything. Orla the vegan is disgusted by this, but Orla the sales assistant leans right into it. In Glimmer of a Rainbow, Orla battles with her own insecurities, and struggles with who the world tells her she is versus who she wants to be. Throughout the play, Orla gets wrapped up in petty workplace dramas at Rhinestones, along with constantly dealing with her belittling boss Brenda, until a tragedy in Orla’s personal life brings her back down to earth.

    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 Season Trailer

    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.

    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?www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Season Trailer

    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.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participants Watch TrailerWatch Season Trailer

    Imagining Rachel

    Storyteller Elise Robertson embarks on a journey of discovery about Rachel Carson, iconic environmentalist, born twelve miles from her in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 60 years earlier. Elise’s own demons quickly hijack the story, interweaving her own coming-of-age with Rachel’s, as they struggle with their identities as artists, mothers, and truth-tellers. Conceived and staged in her tiny backyard studio using an eclectic mix of found props, greenscreen, stop motion, and multiple zoom screens, the result is a whimsical, unique storytelling experience: sweeping and intimate, funny and moving. Elise plays multiple characters in myriad settings without ever leaving her office chair.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/iameliserobertson/ Watch Trailer #1Watch Trailer #2Watch Trailer #3Watch Season Trailer

    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 Season Trailer

    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.DatesPREMIERE SHOWING with LIVE TALKBACK 1 May 2022: Premiere showing of Being Frank with live talkback (event duration approx 1hr35)2pm Los Angeles (PST) / 10pm UK (BST)To book for the premiere showing, click on the highlighted calendar date below (please note that the calendar shows the date and time of the performance in the UK).The premiere showing is delivered via Zoom, and you will need to install the Zoom app on your device before viewing.

    Antennae

    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.www.unmutedparticipants.comwww.facebook.com/unmutedparticipantswww.instagram.com/unmutedparticipants/www.vimeo.com/showcase/c-arts-unmuted-participantswww.instagram.com/kelseysiepser/ Watch TrailerWatch Season Trailer
