Scene Unseen
2022-12-14 | Northamptonshire
Filmed by David Lefeber directed by James Dacre illustrations by Thomas Hicks.
A cutting-edge new musical about identity, sexuality, and what makes us who we are.
An hour-long song-cycle weaves a path from cabaret artist Jessica Walker‘s (Alone in Berlin) emotionally complex childhood right up to her very particular wedding day, with songs about early gender confusion, sexual assault, first love and betrayal, and family secrets.
It is a powerful, personal story with universal themes, expressed through Atkins and Walker’s uncategorisable musical mix of humour, classicism, torch, and a touch of Eighties synth.
