"All of our collaborators are currently busy. Please wait, thank you."
Have you ever waited on the phone for too long, with a muzak playing on a loop and an irritating robotic voice telling you endlessly that your request is being processed?
Yes, you have ... and so does the protagonist of solo-show The Sensemaker, until she is gradually stretched beyond her limits.
With its razor-sharp sense of humour and its unclassifiable genre, multi-award winning The Sensemaker features a dystopian battle between a woman and an answering machine.
"It is a dance show in which the protagonist spends much of the time standing still. It is a piece of mime which can get very noisy indeed. It is both a dream and a nightmare." - The Peg Review
"An astonishing, disturbing, shapeshifting sliver of genius." ★★★★★ - FringeReview
"A journey from darkly comic to deeply discomfiting." ★★★★★ - Fringe Biscuit
