THE GREAT AND THE GRAND: SLOUGH
(2021)
The Great and the Grand is a participatory performance project inspired by our ‘grandad cabaret’ Rendezvous in Bratislava.
Travelling around the UK, we work with participants who identify as 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-generation migrants to create many more time-travelling music theatre performances, this time featuring stories of participants’ own grandparents, performed by the participants themselves.
Our most recent iteration of the project was a digital version in July 2021, commissioned and produced by HOME Slough. With the help of six Slough residents, we created a series of videos, songs and rituals that we presented as part of a live Zoom performance.
“A really surprisingly profound and joyful experience.”
