Hurled Words. Thrown Objects. Dodged Burgers.
Artist and performer Travis Alabanza's first full-length theatre show explores the harassment of transgender and gender non-conforming people. After a burger was thrown at them on Waterloo Bridge in broad daylight, with no-one intervening, Alabanza became obsessed with burgers. This new theatre piece sees Alabanza reclaim the act as a way of making sense of the daily violence that happens to them and other trans bodies. Carving out a place for themselves as one of the UKs prominent trans voices, Alabanza presents a theatre performance that is timely, unsettling and powerful, exploring the way a body can dodge objects and how trans lives are dissected in public.
