Tepid off the tails of the Southbank Centre comes Shooting From Below.
Combining musical theatre, movement, live art and drag, this show explores what happens when you gaslight a dwarf star to the point of combustion.
‘Not all people without dwarfism are under the presumption that people with dwarfism are there for entertainment as pets, toys, fetishes, dream sequences, musical numbers… just most.’ Midgitte Bardot, the alias of solo artist Tamm Reynolds, presents a work-in-progress sharing of their new show where they explore who is really dwarfing who.
Performance has been written into dwarf bones against their will. They’re a local celebrity with little power wherever they go, from the mines, courts, cabarets, and big screen to performing arts institutions.
Join Bardot as she questions: why is it violence she seeks? What happens when a dwarf has power? Are the non-dwarfs on their knees? What does a land look like when it’s designed and ruled by Midgittes?
