Christine Thynne and Robbie Synge present These Mechanisms.
In her eightieth year, Christine wondered if she might create her first show. Who says an octogenarian shouldn’t be working with stepladders, electronics… and water?
A performance of persistence and joy, celebrating the beautiful functions and limits of a human body and the desire to make things happen. Assisted by her helper, Calum, Christine manipulates and raps her way along a precarious journey of movement and sound, taking us to surprising places.
Led by play and curiosity and an infectious personality, we are likely to encounter the banal to the jaw-dropping. This is real, and what happens along the way we can’t be sure. Nor can Christine, such is the nature of These Mechanisms.
Please note the Thursday afternoon show is a relaxed, community performance.
