Can I be a butterfly? by Clare’s Many Threads

Live Borders Arts & Creativity Preset Can I Be A Butterfly? BY Clare's Many Threads

Can I be a butterfly? is a semi-autobiographical, part imagined, solo play about Chronic Fatigue and its possible message to a fast world.

Using movement, poetry, sound, song and text, the performer weaves her own story around the fairytale of Briar Rose accompanied by the voices of others who have experienced ME and Chronic Fatigue.

This play explores the experience of fatigue, its effects, its invisibility and the feelings of non -acceptance that surround it. It also looks at the deep questions it brings and the possibility of hope for transformation.

Clare’s Many Threads is the Artist name of Clare Watson. She is an interdisciplinary practitioner living in the Borders, who works with theatre practice, walking, creative writing, textiles and song.
