JMK Finalist Kay Michael, the director, brings her production of Christian Lollike's 'Cosmic Fear or The Day Brad Pitt Got Paranoia' back to London following an award nomination and some brilliant reviews at the Fringe:
THE PLAY:
LA is filled with traffic jams under heavy smog, trees are drifting under floods in Bangladesh and in China incinerators are burning holes in the ozone layer.
Brad Pitt fears the future. But Brad is a man of action and he’s not here to entertain, he's here to make a difference. So Brad embarks on the Great Universal Love Project: Save Planet Earth!
Can the ultimate blockbuster be made to transform the consciousness of the entire world before it’s too late?

THE ARRIVAL
Role: Video Designer
Duration of the performance:
50 minutes
Representation at The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in June 2017
Directed by Rich Weinman
THE PLAY:
This new play is inspired by The Arrival, a poetic drawing book by Shaun Tan. The idea of the video was to bring to live the drawing of Shaun Tan to immerse the audience into a poetic and imaginary world.
The Story:
What drives so many to leave everything behind and journey alone to a mysterious country, a place without family or friends, where everything is nameless and the future is unknown. This silent graphic novel is the story of every migrant, every refugee, every displaced person, and a tribute to all those who have made the journey.
