The first thing to do if you ever find yourself expelled into the vacuum of space is exhale.
The man who flew into space from his apartment is an immersive slideshow brought to you by award-winning writer and theatre maker, Michael Pinchbeck, in which outer space meets the theatre space as the journey of the man who flew into space from his apartment collides with that of the guest performer. Inspired by the installation of the same name by Russian artist Illya Kabakov, a guest performer follows instructions on headphones they have never heard before in front of ten people.
The performance explores escape and makes a journey, like Kabakov, between east and west, flying and falling, attempt and failure.
Michael Pinchbeck tours nationally and internationally and has been selected for the British Council’s Edinburgh Showcase three times. Commissioned by hÅb (Manchester) and Lincoln Performing Arts Centre. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
