A Suffocating Choking Feeling is a razor-sharp, satirical deep-dive into the warped world of Insta-“truth”, where fact and fiction blur and what wins is having a story worth telling. Inspired by Australian cancer-con Belle Gibson (Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar & BBC’s Bad Influencer), this Award-winning explosive show smashes together live theatre with interactive social media experiments, inviting you to scroll, troll and cancel Simone Hamilton.

MOUNTAINS AND SEAS: SONG OF TODAY
PRESENTED BY XIE RONG AND KAKILANG
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMIE BAKER
11 NOV - 7 DEC
To accompany our five-day show run of Mountains and Seas: Song of Today at Omnibus Theatre, we propose an art exhibition that transforms the theatre wall into a living montage of storytelling.
Breaking away from conventional hanging systems, artist Xie Rong will paint directly onto the wall, creating an organic flow of mountains, trees, and water — echoing the visual and emotional landscape of the performance. Her painting will weave around a series of striking portraits of the performers, photographed in the Surrey Hills by renowned photographer Jamie Baker, capturing the essence of myth and nature intertwined.
The installation will also feature hand-stitched textile works by Yiran of YiCraft Studio London, whose delicate craftsmanship embodies transformation and resilience, alongside typographic compositions by Yang Can, an award-winning graphic designer based in London, whose calligraphic sensibility bridges Chinese and Western aesthetics.
Adding another layer of depth, the exhibition will include original handwritten musical scores by composer Beibei Wang, revealing the rhythm and emotion behind the soundscape of Mountains and Seas. Together, these elements form an immersive wall installation — a visual poem that brings together the key creative voices of Mountains and Seas: Song of Today. It invites the audience to step into the shared imagination of artists, musicians, and designers, celebrating collaboration, mythology, and the living dialogue between art and performance.
