Tice Cin: Safe Spaces

Enter the world of the extraordinary new novel Safe Spaces, by the author of Keeping the House, through live monologues, projections, music and sound design. Join us for a live event exploring the different spaces that a young musician tries to pass through and call home as she attempts to figure out what she wants from the city, and whether the city is prepared to give it to her. ‘Is there a place for these stories? Somewhere safe?’ A star-studded cast performs excerpts and monologues from the book, including BODUR, Tice Cin and more to be announced, with beats by KMNC, Tice Cin and Ikonika. Safe Spaces is a portrait of the artist as a young musician, following our unnamed narrator as she attempts to survive on a combination of Universal Credit, music production and songwriting, navigating love affairs and halted by pain following the loss of her closest confidante. This is a story of the DJ booths and dances that shape her, and the worlds she finds herself in, be they nightclubs, her Turkish-Cypriot family, the beauty parlour, the studio. A deeply intimate portrait of a community and a moving personal reckoning, it fearlessly asks: can the dream of a safe space ever be realised? Presented in association with the Service95 Book Club.
