I'm Ready To Talk Now
UK Premiere | Oliver Ayres & SKINT in association with Quiet Riot present Written & Performed by Oliver AyresAbout
After back to back, award-winning and sold-out Melbourne Fringe seasons, Oliver Ayres brings his solo performance art piece I’m Ready To Talk Now to Edinburgh for its UK premiere.
Set inside of a hospital room, audiences experience the work one at a time, alone with the artist, as he tells the story of being diagnosed with a rare, severe and chronic immune condition - in his very first year of starting testosterone.
Through music, projection, and physical theatre, this radical act of connection blurs the lines between audience and performer, theatre and installation art, and stands boldly outside of ordinary theatrical conventions.
With access as its core guiding principle, each performance can be spontaneously altered: offering relaxed performances, tactile tours, audio description and captioning on demand. Audience members can leave the space at any time.
