THE GIRL WHO...
East London / Spitalfields Market / The Rag Factory
by Kazzum
Director – Daryl Beeton
Designer – Ingrid Hu
Dramaturge – Carissa Lynch
Composer – Chloe Clifford-Frith
Video Artist – Jamil Yamani
Location theatre for 11-16 year olds.
The Girl Who… begins like any other tour of the impressive Spitalfields Market in east London and the atmospheric streets surrounding it. But then we meet Monika, an extraordinary character whose past experiences have changed her life forever. Suddenly we are impelled to help Monika on her physical and emotional quest to answer a basic human question: “What is my true identity?”
Inspired by Kazzum’s work with young refugees in London, the show is based on a traditional Buddhist fable, ‘The Man Who Didn’t Want to Die’, this fast-paced, immersive and interactive performance places the audience in the driving seat for a 90 minute adventure through the old buildings, streets and markets of east London.

‘The man who invented electroniс music is about to die. His name is Lev Theremin and he is almost 100 years old. He dedicated all his life to creating things from thin air: first electronic instrument, interlaced video signal, drones, automatic doors and acoustic spying devices. Now, he is obsessively working on the problem of immortality.’
A research and development performance of a uniquely personal journey through the life of one of electronic music’s first pioneers.
