Tongue Fu and Get Involved, in association with Bristol Old Vic present
Animal (Are You a Proper Person?)
By
Chris Redmond, Anna Freeman and The Tongue Fu Band.
Directed by Sita Calvert-Ennals
If you had a power animal what would it be? Can we choose or do we just get what we’re given? Why does life seem intent on derailing the versions of ourselves we want the world to see?
Animal is a new spoken-word musical comedy exploring these questions and more. Mythic drum lessons, awkward parties and explosive one-night stands all feature in a show about learning to live with the choices we make and the animals that guide us. It combines storytelling, comedy, live music and graphs.
Chris Redmond – poet and musician - is a regular at UK literature and music festivals. Featured on Pick Of The Week (BBC R4) and Scroobius Pip’s Beatdown (XFM), he is the creator and host of Tongue Fu.
