Description:
Featuring music by Grammy Award-nominated KT Tunstall, The Singer is a new piece of gig-theatre about Joe, a deaf artist who 'sings' with his hands, and Andy, a washed-up musician seeking a comeback. Joe experiences music physically, feeling rhythm through his body, crafting lyrics that pulse with life. Their unlikely partnership ignites, prejudice closes in and their bond is pushed to breaking point. A story of music, identity and connection, performed in spoken English and BSL. Music and lyrics by KT Tunstall, directed by Cora Bissett, based on the short film by Cora Bissett and Jamie Rea.
