Event information

ROOST is a one-woman fantasy musical set in the world of Second Born (a.k.a Bòbò). It's an original tale of genius and belonging.

ROOST is a feast of a tale : absurd; funny; philosophical; wondrous and inspiring. The show is filled with funky songs and musical storytelling narrative.

Bòbò is a misfit who lives alone in an abandoned Railway Station next to a swamp, in a version of Oxford not quite matching ours. It's where her family has lived for over a century. She feels half-hearted about carrying on with their tradition of making cloth out of rain. It all seems so tenuous and not very useful.

ROOST is about making tiny precious things, a swamp where time and logic are highly unstable; how to do something useful with your life (according to grandpa); meeting strange new friends; baked goods; outer space and astronomical minds.

The story is told with the help of props, masks and a vintage Rhodes electric piano.

There's even a possible answer to the question: ‘as we go looking up with longing at stars do they look back down and long for us too?’

It was conceived and written by Karen.

Running time: 80 minutes plus an interval
