Created and performed by Jenny Q and Myshkin Warbler
Based on Jenny's book Held Together and Myshkin's album Trust and the High Wire
A candid, spellbinding multimedia performance tells the story of Jenny's near death experience, sepsis survival, and new life on metal legs. Balancing urgency, reflection, humour and wonder, the show merges Jenny's raw, vulnerable memoir with Myshkin's haunting Folk/Jazz music. It explores sudden disability, queer family, resilience, love and transformation.Myshkin Warbler is a Dutch-American music and multimedia artist. Her ten records of original songs, multimedia performance pieces, and three decades of international touring brought her to Scotland on a Global Talent visa in 2023. Jenny Qaqundah is a Palestinian born in America, writer, cellist, entrepreneur and disability activist.
