Surely Some Revelation Is At Hand

Live Performance, April 2025, London, UK
Surely Some Revelation is a Hand is a show about technology, bureaucracy, and sending a rocket to the sun because that’s where we think God will hear us.
​
Two performers dressed as scientists (or maybe Mormons) are in a room (on a stage) setting up equipment, watching videos, listening to tapes, singing songs, trying to mend a printer, having a crisis of faith, acting out the past, rerecording history, and arguing with eachother.
​
This metaphysical smorgasbord of reality and fiction is presented to the audience as a tapestry of physical performance, poetic text, video installation, historical fiction, speculative sci-fi, live camerawork and noise music. This is done through a miserably overcomplicated web of analogue A/V Equipment, which the performers desperately try to make work properly.
​​
Surely Some Revelation is at Hand asks us important questions like:
​
“How has our media changed our relationship with history?”
“Can faith ever be vindicated?”
“How many plug sockets are there in this theatre?”
And “Wow, is that footage of the sun real?” – The answer to this one is yes.
Some quotes from our audience:
"Incredibly enjoyable to watch. Even when I had no idea exactly what was happening, the relationship between the two performers - and also everything else going on - made it super engaging."
"Each person went on their own personal thought journey, and yet we felt the tragedy together, burst into spontaneous laughter together, knew how ridiculous we are, realised our fragility and recognised ourselves - together."
"Really exciting theatre. Exactly the kind of thing I want to be seeing when I go out, something properly new and unusual."
