From your spaceship, the Earth looks like a marble. It looks like a gobstopper. It could pop like a bubble. Trainee astronauts are screened for poetic souls: those who have them can’t go into space. Too much metaphor on the mind could compromise a mission.
The poets in the show I Gaze From My Kitchen Like an Astronaut – Sarah Howe, Amy Key, William Letford and Tom Warner – have worked with a theatre director and designer to create new worlds of poetic pleasure and provocation. Their poems come with a payload of star-shine and space-dust, and are performed throughout all the charted and uncharted spaces of the The Beacon in Hastings.
I Gaze From My Kitchen Like an Astronaut is produced by Jaybird, a company producing touring poetry shows which borrow the tricks of the theatrical trade to heighten the performances of talented and inventive poets. Previous shows have included soundscapes and fireworks. I Gaze From My Kitchen Like An Astronaut builds for each poet a setting suggested by the themes of their poems. Words and moods are enhanced with props and subtle choreography: how the poets move, sit and stand on stage helps your eye support what your ear attends. Poems from the page, launched into orbit.
Sarah, Amy, William and Tom have metaphor on the mind at all times. Their poems will charm and console you, nudge you and urge you. Come and follow their explorations.
I Gaze From My Kitchen Like an Astronaut is produced by Jaybird and directed by Phoebe Stout.
I Gaze From My Kitchen Like an Astronaut is coming to The Beacon as part of the Coastal Currents Festival, and will be performed interspersed with the courses of a delicious supper.
