Tall Tales on Tall Shoes

  • Butser Ancient Farm Chalton Lane Hampshire, PO8 0BG United Kingdom (map)

Ri Baroche (they/she) is a writer, performer, musician, poet and drag artist . At the heart of their work is an excited curiosity about what makes the world tick, and the sparks and friction that flies when unexpected things combine, from quantum physics and gender, to climate change and Dolly Parton, to Beethoven and Britney.

Join them for a family-friendly performance of stories, songs, poems and audience participation inspired by their passions of nature, genre-blending and transcendence.

About Ri

They are an Associate Artist at MAST Mayflower Studios, have been commissioned by InsideOutDorset to write a conservation-inspired folk tale about nettles, recorded with Grammy-winning talent, toured the UK with their quantum theatre show Drag ‘n’ Drop! - with a performance at London’s Science Museum - and are currently working on their next theatre show, a musical-comedy about climate change. It’s no surprise that Baroche translates loosely from the French as ‘bizarre’ or ‘extravagant’.
