Thinking, giving, birthing and stealing

Thinking, giving, birthing and stealing is a theatrical performance that asks the question, what would it look like if the British artist Tracey Emin were to meet her favourite artist, Edvard Munch? We meet two new characters: T, a character inspired by Tracey Emin who is at the beginning of her career at a crossroad on her path towards figuring out who she is as an artist. With the fears, insecurities and pressures that come with being in the early stages of  her career she decides to go to her role model E, a character  inspired by Edvard Munch to seek help. To become unstuck, T breaks into E’s studio.  Every artist has their personal heroes, and although these are just inspirations, an artistic genealogical web is formed. Occupying a metaphorical plane, TGBS reflects on the extent that artists inspire one another across generations, and imagines a cycle of artists influencing the next generation of artists.
