THEATRE | WINTER 2025
ON THE STORY
Based on the short story from Bora Chung’s Cursed Bunny, that was nominated for the international Booker prize, The Head tells the disturbingly visceral tale of a woman who finds a head growing in her toilet, and following her throughout her life, from the depths of the white porcelain.
Kat Kim both performed and adapted the story for stage, as we collaborated on its aural world and delivery. It was performed at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Art in January 2025.
