An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
