A Fringe Quickie (#199) with ‘Constellations’

Questions answered by Christophe Peyras.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Our current plan is to stand on the Royal Mile calmly explaining quantum mechanics to strangers until one of us accidentally creates a universe where the show is already sold out. If that fails, we may have to make eye contact with people.

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

A Quantum Martini. Simultaneously shaken and stirred until observed. Served in multiple universes at once, each containing a slightly different life choice and one regrettable text message.

Q3: The Fringe is horribly expensive. How are you financing this run? Did you remortgage your house, sell your granny, or start an illicit side hustle?

We’re hoping one of the parallel universes in Constellations contains a version of us with unlimited funding. Failing that: fundraising, community support, and the time-honored Fringe tradition of making questionable financial decisions for art.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

Like a conversation they can’t stop replaying. The kind where one small choice changes everything—and leaves them wondering which version of their life they’re living in.
