PAGAN

Pagan pandemonium: The Outdoor games

Summer 2021

Commissioned by New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich

Produced by Seamas Carey and imPOSSIBLE

“A bonkers and surreal game show featuring local history and lost traditions. Watch two local teams go head to head (from a safe distance) as they dance, sing and welcome in the future. With a live band, techno Morris dancing, a wrestling straw bear and a singing standing stone; join Seamas Carey as he celebrates communal joy and asks what happens, when such a thing is lost?

Expect large quantities of audience interaction, bizarre rituals and collective effervescence. Original production funded by Arts Council England, Feast and Cornwall Museum Partnership, with support from Wild Works.”

Directed & hosted by Seamas Carey
