Autobiography and fantasy blur in this debut solo show from Glasgow-based artist Indra Wilson, co-directed by Cora Bissett and Niloo-Far Khan, produced by feminist company F-Bomb Theatre. Wilson grew up obsessed with space. Underneath their bedroom ceiling of Poundland glow-in-the-dark stars, they dreamt of faraway missions. That childhood love of adventure evolves into astronaut training, and falling in love with a jazz-loving digital entity called NASA.
The moon landing they long for is really parenthood and the metaphor gets a bit clunky in places. Still, the show contains a rich galaxy of complicated emotions. The giddy rush of new lust followed swiftly by brave new world building, then the lonely path of single parenting as a young queer person, followed by the pain of pregnancy loss.
Wilson, in their silver jumpsuit and Preston accent, leads us through the buzz of early space race excitement, crashing into panic, loneliness then grief, with all its messy, non-linear surprises. Through archival footage of Buzz Aldrin, cardboard boxes and a poignant halo of fairy lights inside a space helmet, Wilson draws us in with a warm, working-class voice, inviting the audience along on a collective bumpy ride towards healing. (£1 of every ticket sold goes to Baby Loss Retreat).
