multi-disciplinary theatre artist.

Receiving a place on the MA Contemporary Art Practice at Royal College of Art, my work grapples with European Imperialism in Asia and the manifestations of these legacies in the body, memory/amnesia, and beliefs. Decolonising modes of storytelling, I have used Immersive Technology to explore a deepening relationship to the embodied as opposed to the digitally disembodied.

My achievements led to my appointment as Co-Artistic Director of Papergang Theatre, a charity that champions ESEA dramatic arts; and Assistant to Contemporary Programmes at V&A East. I am Artistic Associate at Roots Touring, Yorkshire’s queer touring theatre.

Recent commissions include British Council’s Connections Through Culture to adapt Bizet’s opera Carmen with the University of the Philippines and Belfast International.

Reviews.

  • “It’s the kind of work that existed in the late-20th century behind the Iron Curtain, theatre which is about nothing and everything all at once.”

    ★★★★ - The Stage

  • “Over a fragmented but immensely vivid hour, they conjure up a series of impressionistic images of a generation of Hong Kong people oppressed by an increasingly authoritarian rule”

    ★★★★ - The Scotsman

  • "A real lesson in how to frame a piece of work, how to create an immediate context and mood that colours the rest of the show.”

    ★★★★ - Fest Mag

  • "The show’s use of the allegorical veil is a masterstroke, sharpening the focus without blunting the pain."

    ★★★★ - The Guardian

  • “The vignettes are surreal, tense, and abstract… A vital and groundbreaking piece of work.”

    ★★★★ - The Skinny

  • "Max Percy’s direction has performers hurtling through gear-shifts with precision, ensuring this enormous topic fits into a production that’s sharply-formed and dripping in symbolism."

    ★★★★ - Three Weeks

  • "Breathtaking and claustrophobic, where even the moments of supposed levity are fraught."

    ★★★★★ - Scottish Field
