Summerhall Surgeries: Event One will present the following artists and their work:

• The Selkie’s Wife by Elisabeth Flett: a new folk gig theatre performance re-imagining an old tale from a freshly queer and fiercely feminist perspective.
• Wrappers by Rowan Heggie: an autobiographical performance investigating the relationships between grief, food, and how we relate to our bodies when they turn against us.
• I Think We Will Stay by Raphael Highgate-Betts: a highly visual, compelling immersive performance exploring how we find love and peace in our own bodies.
• The Dreaming by Althea Young: a choreographic-text based work asking how we reckon with the desire to bear children when we don’t feel we have the means to offer a child the tools to thrive in an increasingly uninhabitable world.
