Aimed at adults although suitable for age 8+

In her eightieth year, Christine wondered if she might create her first show. Who says an octogenarian shouldn’t be working with stepladders, electronics… and water?

A performance of persistence and joy, celebrating the beautiful functions and limits of a human body and the desire to make things happen. Assisted by her helper, Calum, Christine manipulates and raps her way along a precarious journey of movement and sound, taking us to surprising places.

Led by play and curiosity and an infectious personality, we are likely to encounter the banal to the jaw-dropping. This is real, and what happens along the way we can’t be sure. Nor can Christine, such is the nature of These Mechanisms.

These Mechanisms is part of a progressive collaboration spanning over a decade between Christine Thynne and Robbie Synge, including group performance Ensemble (Aerowaves; Made In Scotland Showcase and Total Theatre Awards Shortlisted, 2018)
