A Fringe Quickie (#256) with ‘Glass Child’

Questions answered by Kayah and Maitreyah Guenther.

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

We plan to talk to people. Yes! We believe that even in this day and age word of mouth is still a thing, so we think our best way is for people to get to know Maitreyah and Kayah and then they will be interested to come see their show.

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

A spicy vegan feast. Then it would realise where it was and change to a margarita. Something with an umbrella in it.

Q3: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

At one point Kayah always needed a tummy rub to settle his nerves before a show, but those days have long passed. He is older and wiser now and the butterflies are a thing of the past. But our biggest ritual is revving Kayah up by wrestling or bullfighting. He is always the bull.

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

By unexpectedly crying and smiling at the same time. Remembering that the world is a beautiful place and that sometimes we are able to fight for each other instead of tearing ourselves apart. Remembering the way we all rise by lifting others.
