Soul Pilots

Soul Pilots is an examination of identity. The show was created with and performed by six people with very different racial, religious, social, linguistic, performance and geographical stories or histories to tell.  It was devised through a process of playing games, asking questions, and recording and relearning conversations. 

Clip 1
This extract comes from the very beginning of the show when the group try to find out who is who by racing against each other.

Clip 2 – Text for second clip from ‘Soul Pilots’
The group are navigating their way across an imaginary cultural landscape repeatedly getting lost and then finding themselves again.

David:  Pride & Predjudice.  Middlemarch.  Pride and Prejudice.
I walk?
Someone picks me up and I drive to Pride and Prejudice.
And I’ve got no idea where I’m going.
I need to get to Harry Potter next.
I know where I’m going now.
So I go up the hill, through the square, to the roundabout.
Take the second turn on the left,
and it’s about 100 yards-
it’s about 6 miles to Harry Potter.
Which is a Book Town.
Which is famous for wigs.
And so we’ve virtually made it….

Lucy:   …And so were on our way now finally to Medulla Oblongata, which is famous for being oblong in shape.
So we arrive there
we go right round the roundabout.
no we turn right on to the street
Take the first left,
2nd left,
3rd left
And then we’re cooking on gas
because in one hundred yards there is.
Here we are.  We are here. We are here.
