Bat got your tongue?
A collection of text and images from a night of improvised theatre held at United Cowboys in Eindhoven. The theatre company Many Bats invited Trash Club and
Cie Tout N’est Pas Perdu to explore the communicative potential of dance, puppetry, and clowning through a series of non-verbal performances. Spontaneous and raw, the narratives unfold live on stage, shaped by the participation
of musicians and the audience. After the show, attendees recorded their interpretations, which are compiled in this immersive, risograph-printed publication—a tangible reflection of the event, told by those who experienced it firsthand.
Publication made in collaboration with Onomatopee. Edited by Lucy Hodge-Sellers.
