Birth

Episode 1 of 4

Collection of lockdown recordings pondering questions around birth. Do twins share a soul or get one each? From 2021.

Following on from her hugely successful, award-winning series 鈥 鈥楳inds The Gap鈥 and 鈥楿topia鈥, Bridget Christie turns her attention to Mortality

Like many of us forced to work from home during Covid lockdown, Bridget recorded this series herself in her house, and in her local park, on a pre-sanitised recording device sent to her in the post. Batteries weren鈥檛 included. She had to buy them all herself.

In a collection of informative, personal and absurd recordings, she confronts the difficult questions most of us spend our lives avoiding - all whilst being interrupted by cats, chores, children, foxes and a plumber.

鈥淒o twins share a soul or do they get one each?鈥, 鈥淲hy don鈥檛 we bury our placentas and plant a tree on top of them?鈥 and 鈥淲ho鈥檚 blocked the toilet again?鈥

If you are mortal, then this is the show for you.
