We now find ourselves living in a world whereby having an online presence can prove powerful. A single image or headline can travel the lengths and breadths of the world in a matter of minutes. Traditional news outlets perhaps not the first point of call when finding out the latest headlines, independent publications are now finding that their voices are proving very influential. Renowned for their exploration of timely topics through physical theatre and puppetry, Theatre Témoin return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to showcase their latest project, Feed, exploring this new digital world we find ourselves living in. Contributing playwright Eve Leigh tells us more about the company’s current piece.
There’s reason why Edinburgh is magical in August, why Adelaide is so packed in March and why underneath Waterloo station, for the last couple of years in February people have amassed to drink Greenwich beer underground and debate. Theatre Festivals like VAULT let companies share theatre with audiences that love the art form – it’s not about going to the National because you’ve got a season ticket, or going to the Old Vic because Fiennes/Spall/Spacey is up there doing something ‘unmissable’ – it’s about throwing around ideas with yourself, small companies making small theatre with big messages. It’s about the way small scale theatre affects you, the way it makes you wrestle with ideas on the tube home.
