Raw Chicken – Éabha Campbell, Indigo Azidahaka, Cameron Clarke

Step into the surreal with Raw Chicken—a live performance by Éabha Campbell and Indigo Azidahaka, with sound and light design by Cameron Clarke.

Using handmade puppets, nonsensical narration, and evolving costumes, Campbell and Azidahaka will slowly transform themselves into their own puppet characters – blurring the boundaries between object, subject, and performer. Clarke’s contributions include live manipulation of field recordings, filmic elements, and an improvised harmonium set—evoking a dense, uncanny soundscape.

Kafka’s Metamorphosis is often read as a parable of bodily estrangement and social rejection—what happens when identity or circumstance shifts so far outside the norm that even those closest to us turn away. Raw Chicken responds to this theme with a riotous, Dadaist reimagining, exploring transformation not as tragedy, but as resistance—playful, absurd, and defiantly unruly.

Performed live on Saturday 8 November, this participatory work is anything but passive.

No booking required.

This event is part of Belfast International Arts Festival.
