HOLD ME WHILE I BREATHE [to death] 

A performance about life and death told through inflatable objects.

A mix of performance, movement and clown, this work explores the personal and the universal – from intimate accounts of life, death and grief to end-of-the-world type scenarios.

Four performers inflate and deflate lilos, beach balls, armbands, sex toys and flamingos – exploring personal experiences from cancer diagnosis and the menopause to motherhood and gender transitioning, as well as wider themes of late-stage capitalism and the climate crisis.
