Held on the High Wire

Co-created by Jenny Qaqundah & Myshkin Warbler.

Based on Jenny Qaqundah's book Held Together and Myshkin Warbler's record 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.

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, a writer, cellist, entrepreneur and disability activist.
