The MixRace MixTape

A stand-up, hip-hop and spoken word odyssey of passion, hope and humour – taking you on a poetic journey through everyday racism, homophobia and classism, John-Paul Zaccarini explores the political and emotional minefield of intersectionality with poignancy in this highly personal and provocative performance.

John-Paul is an award-winning solo theatre artist, lecturer and poet and ex member of DV8. As if this isn’t enough, he is also a ‘Dragademic’, working class, queer hip-hop, drama clown queen of colour. Homo-funky and street spunky, serving up South London shade and immigrant working class realness, he blends the brains with the bitch and the spectacular with the serious.

Feel Me is an interactive theatre show by leading devisied theatre company, The Paper Birds, which asks you who and what you care about, via your own mobile phone.

Together we journey through landscapes and across borders, through weather storms and paperwork, endless queues and interviews. Worlds unfold from backpacks, each scene and location temporary, like a transient teenager in search of safety, acceptance and a new place to call home.

A stunning mixture of live performance and screened filmic content, Feel Me will speak to your heart and connects you with the performers and fellow audience members as you discover who you care about and why.

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 (Indonesia) and The Point, Eastleigh. Funded by British Council International Collaboration & Arts Council England
