Experimental: Bron Batten

Bron Batten is going on first dates. Live on stage. 

Watch from the safety of your seat or sign up for a chance to be Bron’s date as she takes modern romance to the next level.

You could bear witness to the beginning of true love or watch it crash and burn in front of your very eyes!

Developed whilst in residence in Paris, London, and Lithuania, Bron went on over 60 online dates as part of her ‘research’, determined to get to the heart of the internet. This is the result. 

In the age of online dating, you can watch the thrill and heartbreak of modern courtship up close, as Bron facilitates, interrogates, and gleefully destroys the rituals of contemporary romance.

This show is live and participatory and may contain mild course language or states of undress.
