The Making of Us

Graham Eatough, Graham Fagen

Synopsis

The Making of Us is the latest collaboration between theatre director Graham Eatough and visual artist Graham Fagen. It combines live performance and installation into a drama about how far we’ll go to get on in the world. The central character Jonathan begins the story as a spectator, is persuaded to become its central actor, and ends up its victim. The Making of Us explores its themes of theatricality and authority through a mixture of cinematic and documentary techniques with a leading cast of Scottish actors and renowned DoP Michael McDonough.

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
