SET YOU FREE: A Eurotrance Deep Listening Event (2025)
Solo performance with after party, duration approx 1hr. 40
Commissioned by Full of Noises, Barrow-in-Furness
In development
Every winter a travelling fairground arrives in Loughborough, mysteriously unfurling itself from lorries overnight to appear magically the following day: a sudden and beguiling metamorphosis of suburban life. Each year I return to document the transformation of my hometown, feeling somehow that my own identity is intimately entangled in the fair’s rituals, aesthetics and desires. Part confession, part ride, part dance floor, and incorporating 12 years of footage, SET YOU FREE is my attempt to reroute Loughborough fair from its usual course and re-stage it as a personal exploration of obsession, pilgrimage, memory and transcendence.
