Feel Me

Book
Multiple different hands touch a person's face, smearing paint over their skin. There are bursts of light and images around the face.
A screen shows a text to Mum. The text reads 'I am leaving now, I will call you later. Love you'. Beside the screen stands a young person looking at their mobile phone. They are wearing jeans and an oversized, blue denim shirt.
Sitting on a chair, a young person mimics playing a cello using a wooden coat hanger as a bow. They are wearing a blue long sleeved tshirt and blue, striped trousers.
Against a background of green, yellow and orange colours stand three young people. The middle person is pointing off into the distance with the other two people trying to hold them back.
Sitting down, three young people hold their phones out in front of them. Behind them there is a screen, showing their faces as they make the video call. Two young people are sitting close together and smiling. Another young person sits away from the pair looking more serious.
Three young people stand close together, mid step. They look like they are running. Behind them there is a projection of water droplets, it looks like rain.
In a darkened space with a bright green light projected behind, are three young people. In the middle, is a young person on their knees. Their head is pulled back by another young person holding up their phone with the torch on. As they are on their knees, they are gripping a book. Another young person in front of them tries to pull the book from their hand.
Three young people stand beside each other. Two young people look sadly at the floor. The young person in the middle holds a backpack with her head raised. They look serious.
A young person stands looking at a projection behind them. The projection is an image of a small boat with too many people in it.
Three young people stand, spaced slightly apart, looking ahead of them. Behind them there is a projection.

Feel Me is a new interactive theatre show from The Paper Birds, UK leaders in devised verbatim theatre.

Feel Me asks, via your mobile phone, who and what you care about from the stories unfolding live on stage in front of you.

A stunning mixture of live performance, film, projection, dance and music, Feel Me will explore the different lenses through which we are told, and connect to stories in the modern digital world. 

Worlds unfold from backpacks, and tents are constructed and dismantled again, each scene and location temporary, like a transient teenager in search of safety, acceptance and a new place to call home. An interrogation of empathy, Feel Me asks what makes us ‘feel’ for another person, as we journey through landscapes and across borders, through weather storms and paperwork, changing seasons, endless queues and interviews.

Feel Me is made by The Paper Birds in Partnership with Theatre Centre. A Co-Production with New Wolsey Theatre. Supported by Padepokan Seni Bagong Kussudiardja and The Point, Eastleigh. Funded by British Council International Collaboration & Arts Council England.

About the show's interaction

You'll need your phone during Feel Me. Keep your phone on, but please put it on silent.

At certain points during the performance, we'll ask the audience to interact via their phone. We'd love for everyone to take part in this, but it is optional and will not affect audiences understanding of the show.

If you choose to take part, all answers are anonymous. You'll be asked questions about what you're watching, and how you feel. If you want to take part but don't have a device with you, we have a limited number of tablets available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please ask the Front of House team.
