WTAM has 2 shows at this years Portsmouth fringe!!! And you should definitely come and see and both, but given that this is a free event, there’s nothing to stop you (except maybe time and location😅)! And if you think you’ve seen it before, you haven’t seen it like this!! Hope to see you there!!

this show was created by accident, and came into being almost fully formed - as fully formed as an art form defined by transience can be.

I love this work. I love it so much. If you're in the area in July, please do come along for a night of theatre unlike anything else you've ever seen.

A dark space. A hazy image of a figure in black gazing up and out, behind them a figure in a large silver shirt facing away, behind them still a figure in a white gown contorted on the floor. Over, text:YOU CAN BUT YOU CAN'T BUT YOU WILL BUT YOU WON'T AND YOU COULD BUT YOU WON'T AND YOU DIDN'T BUT YOU CAN AND YOU WILL BUT YOU WON'T AND YOU'RE BURNING

Something's brewing.

And it has, but it hasn't, and it will, and it might, and it's soon, and it's burning.

🌷 In the downfall of the Other App, Wasn't There a Man is taking root here.

We're Maijai (they/them) & Taya (she/her), a duo of UK based theatremakers interrogating gender, sexuality, presence, connection through our work. Also running around in bogs.

Exciting things are in the works.
