We'd fight for you, we'd die for you, you know it's true, everything we do we do it for you.

Before your very eyes, Jumbled will die not once, not twice, but 22 times. Watch us as we meet our ends simply, quietly, loudly, gloriously, haltingly, and beautifully. Listen as we tell you about the scenes we wished we had seen, and play you the music we wished we had heard. Sob as we breath our last breath, scream as we are mercilessly butchered, gasp as we escape unscathed only to be gunned down at the last minute.

Jumbled explore the need to play at death, why we’ve never seen a dead body, and how we just can’t get those soap opera death scenes out of our heads.

Jumbled look to harness the power of autobiographical material and direct address, and explore placing this in the context of richer visual and theatrical worlds. Through ongoing collaboration with sound-maker Nick Gill ( of the Monroe Transfer), Jumbled closely links live sound with action, to create a multi-layered experience.
