Producers: Geir Thomassen and Sushant Nair
Presenter: Actinium Media Ltd

Cocaine by Pendleton King is a one-act play, originally published in 1917, that delves into the psychological and emotional turmoil caused by drug addiction. The story has been adapted for the 80s decade, and centres on the character of a former boxer, Joe, once full of potential, whose life spirals downward as he becomes consumed by his addiction to cocaine. He struggles with the overwhelming cravings and the need to escape from reality. Also, caught in the turmoil of growing cocaine addiction is Nora, who wrestles with feelings of love, helplessness, and frustration.

Through these characters, King explores themes of dependency, self-destruction, and the impact of addiction on relationships. King's writing is poignant in its portrayal of the human psyche, and the work is rich in themes of self-deception, moral decay, and the conflict between desire and consequence, making it a powerful commentary on the broader societal issue of drug addiction.

'10A: The Fitting Room' follows Liz: a 'full-time feminist and part-time bra fitter'.  

Liz defines herself as a raging feminist.  Somewhere between fitting first bras and nursing bras, she ends up in an abusive relationship. The lingerie fitting room is an exclusively female space, and through meeting and helping other women, Liz redefines her iden-titty.  

It's feminist, and despite the heavy themes- a little cheeky. Come take a peek behind the curtain!

What if no one chooses you? Do you still stay on stage? Written and performed by Selin Bakan, supervised by Taner Rumeli, and produced by Stüdyo Kolektif.

Ceci Day is an English-American singer-songwriter whose music lives between city streets and country skies. Her sound sits in the space between folk, country, rock and acoustic storytelling: a transatlantic identity shaped by a life lived between New York, London and the American West. That in-between quality is not a compromise; it is the point.

English traditional music from a parallel universe - Shem Fillmore and his quartet stir together the future, past and alternative timelines into a seething broth.
