Mr Sole Abode

UK Tour May 2008

Fusing text, physical performance and a striking set by surreal puppeteers/designers Faulty Optic, this magical show tells the story of self proclaimed architect Mr Sole Abode. Unable to function under strain of contemporary material society he seeks refuge… in a fridge.

Leo Kay’s first show for Madrugada is directed B-boy and hip hop theatre pioneer Benji Reid.

A Geographic

A Geographic

A solo performance

A Geographic is a study of passion and compulsion. It is an exploration of myth making, questioning what drives us forward and away from stability. An abstract, emotionally charged journey exploring the life of Leo senior (Leo’s Grandfather) an Eastern European immigrant, a merchant sailor, a free spirit, an addict and journeyman. A myth.
