Gen X Gen Z

Tom of Finland. Breastfeeding. Men. Raving at the Hacienda decades apart. Just the usual parent and child catch up. A show about parenting where Tink (parent) and Abra (child) ask ‘without you, who am I?’

It’s about growing up when your politics at home is miles ahead of the outside world. Imagine being parented by a Mancunian renegade who stays out all night but gets cross when you do. 

How does it feel being brown with a white mum? How do you know you’ve done a good job as a parent when you left home at 15? Abra thought her mum was normal until she started school and saw that no one else’s mum looked like hers.

This show is a part of caravan assembly, a three-day event that presents contemporary performance made in England to an audience of international programmers and collaborators. The performances are open to the public as part of Brighton Festival and sit alongside a series of industry conversations and discussions for those participating in the assembly. caravan assembly is delivered by Farnham Maltings in partnership with Brighton Festival.
