Oh wow a 5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ review. Written with genuine insight. Thank you. @everytheatre #Review: Wormhole of Our Formation @batterseaartscentre ★★★★★ “A formidable piece of performance about the deep searing pain one feels as they lose control of life, a prescient warning of a future marked by an ageing population, climate crisis, and economic collapse.” @cath_hoffmann #theatre #Battersea #Clapham #BAC /2026/05/review-wormhole-of-our-formation-battersea-arts-centre/ Full review link in bio

Moments from the incredible taut and excruciatingly emotional ride that is @cath_hoffmann Wormhole of our formation at the Battersea arts centre. It’s a real journey through the emotional and physical storms played out in a unique highly technical performance art piece that is as sonic art and superb acting with mastery of stage and craft at its core. Centred around a desk with car bodies decorated with tassels hung around her like illuminated cadavers, remnants and artefacts of a dystopian world caught in a bloody yet inescapable storm of the body, culture and life. Not to be missed. @batterseaartscentre

Rigging day…. @just_bean_really #vroom #vroom early start today (thankful for the coffee alarm clock 😂) Loading up @cath_hoffmann car parts and heading to @batterseaartscentre to install! If you’ve not seen the performance version of ‘Wormhole of Our Formation’ it’s not to be missed! I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard and cried so hard all in the space of an hour. Amazing work, by a real live art legend #thehoff ❤️

Amazing write up about Wormhole of our Formation for the Something Other site by @eirinikartsakigram This performance is probably the hardest piece for me to perform but also the most epic and hopefully a channeling for us all. I have been rehearsing over and over with legend Louise Mari in Hastings thanks to @homeliveart and we will be rigging lights, sound and hanging car parts from Tuesday. Ready for the first night on Friday 8th @batterseaartscentre . 🌀 🌪️ 🪱 💥 ⚡️ Ticket link in bio. Pay what you can 🩷

May is nearly here and our building is ready to BLOOM. Join us next month as, over two weekends, we present a programme of genre-defying work developed right here in our building. Experimenting with form, discipline and ideas, this curated programme of unique shows reflects our commitment to platforming cutting edge performances and supporting the risk-taking artists creating them. Featuring ➡️ BAC Commission Matter Era from @terrapin_puppet_theatre and visual artist @tspooner0 transports audiences into a living, breathing eco-system, imagined entirely without people. @cath_hoffman employs warped music and searing text to present a visceral, absurdist ride through Breakdown Britain in Wormhole of Our Formation. What happens when our curiosity becomes larger than our fears? @stacymakishi invites you to celebrate the messy, imperfect parts we’re often told to hide in Walking Each Other Home. Using very real, very live TikTok experiences, cult performance artist @louiseorwin ’s FAMEHUNGRY is a Sisyphean mission to make art and find hope in the relentless, almighty algorithm-feeding attention economy. Set inside a wandering art installation, @pinksuitsband welcome you into an immersive performance of intimacy, pain, pleasure and grief in Dance Me to the End of Love. @oceanstefan returns to the building after their critically acclaimed run of Blood Show (2024) to deliver an artist talk on exploring what happens to liveness when bodies are removed, deleted or obscured. Two weekends. Six unique experiences. All under one roof. SEE MORE and SAVE 💸 Book for 3+ Bloom 2026 shows and save 20%. Tickets via link in bio.

🔉🔉sound on 🔉 Dudley, Eunice and Franklin - 3 red alert storms - the more they raged the more I broke down and the more I fell apart..but I couldn’t stop… I filmed days and days of driving…from Brecon past Crickhowell where I bought a pasty and a yellow pot that looked like a giant onion…up the drovers road with a fuck it all spirit to Rhyader and then past lines of swooning trees and backed up vehicles towards Bristol.. I couldn’t stop, can’t stop…Away from the storm..⛈️ 💨 🌀 In Two weeks time @batterseaartscentre all the elemental forces will be conjured- the last time I performed this in a theatre a light fell on me.. This shit is real.. ✨💥 🌪️ Wormhole of our Formation, Bloom festival, 8th and 9th May. Pay what you can.
