About the Pieces

Dr. Jimmy Lyons: Existential Physics (or Why the Universe is Gay)
Created by James Lyon
Dr. Jimmy has one aim: to prove the existence of parallel worlds (or, failing that, become the first gay man to win a Nobel Prize in Physics).

Can I Sit Down Please?
Created by Mia Stubbings ft. Roosterbank Productions
One woman. One badge. One seat.
What’s it really like navigating public transport with an invisible disability?

Keep the Fire Burning (Night Shift Remix)
Created by Lotte Spencer
One Night shift, set against a backdrop of house music and movement, Student Midwife Kizzy must learn the meaning of advocacy in an environment deafened to cries of women’s intuition.

Helpers
Created by Paolo Wilken
A waiter questioning their life path. A nurse with a debt. A nanny struggling to live for herself. Three interconnected Filipinos grapple with the consequences of their care of others.
