A Jazz Cabaret exploring the journey of a break-up through an honest, raw and unappetising lens, sharing the most vulnerable moments with a sprinkle of humour and Mancunian charm. This story is woven together with jazz classics featuring songs sung by Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone and many more.
Technology plays a crucial part in how we find, interact and obsess over love with apps designed to match, social media designed to flaunt and the ability to encapsulate memories forever.
We believe that love is a human right, to be shared between two (or even more) people, regardless of race, gender, religion or sexual preference. Who is this mysterious lover? Is it a woman? Is it a man? Who cares! In the words of RuPaul “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”. This cabaret embraces they/them pronouns.
