Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Golden Fly Bomb
n a surreal 24-hour journey, a young woman's desperate search for meaning unfolds through a kaleidoscope of reality and imagination.
Working as a hostess in a nightclub, she navigates broken family ties, toxic relationships, and a mind that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary - where humans morph into horses.
This multimedia theatre piece blends live performance with animation, projection mapping, and original music. As the protagonist crafts her own Golden Fly Bomb - a whimsical remedy for her existential crisis - she discovers that the urge to destroy everything might just be the key to survival.
A darkly humorous yet deeply moving exploration of how we keep living when everything seems impossible. Through stunning visuals, physical theatre, and original songs, this show asks:
In a world we cannot change, how do we find the strength to go on?
The Golden Fly Bomb is being developed through The Cockpit’s Theatre Maker programme, with upcoming sharings at Theatre In The Pound on 16 June 2025 and New Stuff on 6 July 2025. The production has also been awarded a supported slot from The Cockpit to support its Camden Fringe premiere.
