So proud to be your sinner, in this reverse confessional” Unknown Poet ‘Sanguine Tears’,
Poetfreak 2019
Is it possible to rewire narcissism and humility? Reconcile sadism and masochism[1]? The revelation of human polarity and the ‘switch’[2] aesthetic are explored in a confessional ritual for radio. Using found sound, field recordings, electronics and personal / social irreverence, p6 brings mortifying, thrilling and downright banal lived experience together for an invited and uninvited audience. Duality abounds, a scent of righteous anger and absurdity in equal measure. Unsurprising from the offspring of disordered personality traits[3] and family tragedy[4]. The High Holy Disco Mass [5] can now begin.
Content Warning: 18yr+ only. Potential themes of BDSM sexuality, spirituality and violent trauma. This autobiographical performance contains reference to lived experience of sexual violence, sadomasochism and a family murder (please listen with caution). Support for the issues raised can be found via Victim Support Scotland on 0800 160 1985.
