Andy is watching the TV, and trying not to think about how everything around them is falling apart. A telephone rings, an old video clip from a long-forgotten concert begins to play, and something – somewhere – just won’t let them out of the theatre.

A one-person physical theatre piece, CATACLYSMIC taps into the heart of our obsession with nostalgia, and explores that feeling of the world ending when things just don’t go to plan. Inspired by clowning and immersive art, it delves into experiences of grief, and interrogates the act of inaction in the face of cataclysm.

A collaboration between Emily Hawkins, Vera Majoor, Ben Peterson, and Ollie Wimbush, the four artists come together to create absurdist, vivid, multidisciplinary performances. Previous collaborations within the group include London Pub Theatre award winning and Offie nominated production Anthropocene, and Lambeth Fringe’s Glitch Award winning Bog Body.

CATACLYSMIC saw its first work-in-progress sharing at the No Such Theatre January 2026 scratch-night, where it was described by critic Josh Berninger as ‘fun, varied, and with the standard of high-end theatre’.
