Cakehead
Tête à Tête
Tête à Tête commissioned four new Pop Up Operas – of which Cakehead is one – for the 2014 Festival – all performed by Tête à Tête. They were developed, rehearsed and performed free for all to enjoy in the public spaces of King’s Cross throughout the period of the 2014 Festival (24 July-10 August 2014).
She can’t get enough
He pays no attention
He craves authority
Sugar is her companion
His head is buried in sand
She is buried in battenberg
Stuck together, glac fruits drool in a turban tomb
