Set You Free (2025)
Solo performance approx. 25 mins
Commissioned by Full of Noises, Barrow-in-Furness
Every winter a travelling fairground arrives in Loughborough, mysteriously unfurling itself from lorries overnight. Each year I return to document the transformation of my hometown, feeling somehow that my identity is intimately entangled in the fair’s rituals and aesthetics. Incorporating 12 years of footage, Set You Free is my attempt to exorcise some of these feelings.
