TS DÆMON

The 23rd Samarbeta artist is one of Scotland's most innovative queer artists TS DÆMON (FKA Shrek 666). 

​

Developed during a series of Samarbeta residencies, this project will see TS DÆMON take on their most ambitious artwork to date. No Silence, No Saints is an immersive theatre production that merges live music, technology and radical queer performance art to create a multisensory, multi-narrative portrayal. At its core, the project is a collaborative space to amplify trans* voices—specifically those of trans* sex workers. 

​

Through residencies in Sheffield, Glasgow, Salford & Ynys Môn, TS Daemon has been working over the past 6 months with support from the Samarbeta residency programme and the Experiment strand of the Immersive Arts Fund. They have been exploring 360-degree video, virtual reality, augmented reality, motion projections, live AV, songwriting, storytelling and so much more. These residencies have given TS DÆMON time to explore live music production, laser mapping, projection, sound and motion-reactive technologies, all through the lens of the ever-shifting spectacle of trans* politics and experiences.  

​

TS Daemon will be sharing a 'work in progress' theatre show to an audience as part of the FaT OuT 25 on Sat 8 Nov. 

​

This ‘work in progress’ show will allow audiences to experience the evolution of this ambitious theatre show; a multi-sensory performance that blurs the line between club, theatre, and radical queer performance. The work blurs distinctions of fact, fetish, fiction, and fantasy to craft radical sensorial experiences that challenge dominant narratives and reimagine new possibilities.

​

Part erotic thriller, part gothic-tech-musical, this work showcases theatre as transformation.
