Who puts the wind in your sails?
Do you have a friendship that’s on the rocks?
Does small talk land you in deep water?
Are you still looking for your “lifelong crew”?
Then climb aboard…
House of Figs share their powerful one-act piece navigating the choppy waters of friendship, from platonic meet-cutes to courageous conversations… and beyond. Join poet Beth Calverley and musician Beth Roberts on a voyage through deep friendship feelings, safely afloat in an otherworldly choir of spoken and sung voices.
‘The Awkward Guide to Friendship’ traces the tale of Beth & Beth’s friendship, interspersing the duo’s own experiences of loneliness and connection with voice notes of other people talking about friendship, original songs and immersive soundscapes. Along the way, they invite their new friends (you!) to help inspire some live improvisations and join in with collective singing – though quiet listening is equally welcomed.
