Set against a back drop of climate catastrophe and political heartbreak, Last Gasp is a call and response to the precarities of aging and of our age. Two separate but interdependent solo performances are woven together through the timeless pairing of Echo and Narcissus. Last Gasp looks for ways we might catch our breath in these times of great global uncertainty, considering our ‘last acts,’ whether personal, political or environmental.
Performance artist Peggy Shaw ruminates on life before and after the stroke she had in 2011, delivering a freewheeling monologue with deadpan humour and arresting honesty. There are dark spots and blanks in Peggy's memory now. Yet in paying tribute to the family and friends who have inspired and kept her company over the years, she reflects on what is lost and equally celebrates the space left behind for new insight.
Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) is an exploration of ageing, anxiety and ‘doomsday’ created through conversation and collaboration with an array of elders and artists. Developed between the UK and US, Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw have created a unique production, combining darkly playful Dr Strangelove-inspired performance with a daring new protocol for public discussion – the Situation Room.
