An immersive theatrical experience of music, dance and poetry.

To be born is to be extradited, moment by moment, into loss.

SHADOW PLAY isn't a play you watch but a place you enter: a wake no one announced, a house filled with doors held ajar, unfinished dances, unsent letters, and the people who once filled these rooms, now folded into shadow. Moving sideways, as memory does, through fragments of a life rather than its summary, the audience is invited to sit with what we usually refuse to face: grief, absence, love, and the strange beauty that can exist inside endings.

A séance without superstition; a communion with the parts of ourselves we buried alongside those we lost. Performed once and never repeated, SHADOW PLAY disappears the moment it is fully felt, the way everything true eventually does.

The Bloody Poets, founded in 2017 by artists Mad Pirvan and Belén Berlín, is a multidisciplinary collective creating immersive, site-specific experiences that bring together poetry, music, dance, multimedia, and performance art. Born in London's warehouse scene, their work has since transformed churches, warehouses, car parks, private homes, tunnels, galleries, and pubs across London, Windsor, Berlin, Barcelona, and Troina, Sicily. Following productions for the Windsor Fringe Festival and a recent residency in Troina, the collective returns to Windsor before embarking on a long-awaited residency at the iconic Konvent in Catalunya. SHADOW PLAY is an emotional performance on the power of life and the shadow of death. October 31st, 8pm.
