Bleet009:
Flann O’Brien - Faustus Kelly

Written and performed by Frank Wasser: any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Flann O’Brien - Faustus Kelly

Set in the Marquis of Granby - Franks’ text picks apart and unravels the stereotype of the drunk Irishman... at the same time as the text unravels itself, descending into a surreal and devilish tale.
 
30. It is here that the vision appears: cyrstal clear, the cream foam swells into eyes, a pale curve suggests a mouth, tiny horned protrusions hint at something infernal. The pint has become animate. Or perhaps the drinker, now slightly more relaxed and less disciplined,perceives connections where sober reason would see none.

Anju M. Kasturiraj - The Peanut gallery

Anju’s text is a haunting and beautiful meditation on the relationship she shares with her/their childhood pet, Peanut. 

‘To dream of him is to dream of a self that vacillates between compliant and feral–to snare the pendulum before it swings. He is the voice preceding language.’

Sophie Jung - Tragodia
Sophie Jung - Tragodia

‘Pan loved - where are my quote marks - loved - where have they gone they ran off at the sound of the horn.’

A text about goats that is also... really not about goats.

‘Sophie Jung employs humor, shame, the absurd, raw anger, rhythm and rhyme, slapstick, hardship, friendship and a constant stream of slippages. Her writing exists in the tradition of écriture feminine and lives as polyvocal collage, often materialized and extended collaboratively.’
