"Parry seemed to celebrate the under-rehearsed. A ramshackle assembly of images, allusions and fanciful acts brought the foibles and uncouthness of this creator/star to the fore. Like a child he was engaging, bemusing and, at times, embarrassing"

I Wanna Be in That Show is a performance about wanting to be in a performance. It draws on the feeling of seeing a performance and recognising one’s own desire to be in it or to have created it. It’s about art that drives you to make more art, to revel in its forms and textures and to question the bodies that occupy it.
Conceived and performed by Owen Parry
Performers: Luís Lázaro Matos, Giovanni Bienne and Jenna Rossi-Camus
