About this show
An older woman, her two daughters and the eldest's on-and-off partner orbit around love, loss, faith, Catholicism and self-worth. 'A sense of groundbreaking experimentation' (Epigram). Body Parts weaves naturalism, surrealism, an engulfing original soundscape and facial mapping projection (by Alensi Studios) to create a bold, character-led production that dissolves boundaries between theatrical narrative and live performance art. Its cutting-edge use of technology serves story and emotion. Intimate, inventive and fundamentally human, Body Parts is a taste of the future of contemporary theatre. Fresh from a sold-out preview in Bristol, it comes to Fringe for one week only.

Body Parts is a thoughtful, well‑performed piece about ageing, faith, self‑worth, and the messy ways families try to support each other. It’s simple, human, and quietly moving.
