ABOUT PONT'S SESSION: CREATE YOUR PLAYER
Hair is how you render yourself in the world. This show features six people doing it at full resolution, each a playable character fully realised from the ground up. Six distinct identities, six different worlds, each built by a hairdresser. That's what we do; we're the ones who load the character. Every client who sits in your chair builds a new version of themselves, and we hold the controls. This show takes that power on stage and pushes it as far as it goes.
