An ever popular feature, Tte Tte developed, rehearsed and performed brand new super short operas – Pop Up Operas – free fringe events for all to enjoy in the public spaces of King’s Cross throughout the period of the 2014 Festival (24th July-10th August 2014). We commissioned four works from composers, playwrights, authors and musicians all performed by Tête à Tête.

Cakehead
Music and Words: Errollyn Wallen
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
