‘Profound, poetic and something quite special’ ★★★★
A One-Woman Work of Ritual Theatre Exploring Grief, Miscarriage, Womanhood, and the Sacred Power of Water.
This new piece of writing was developed during an artist residency at Santa Rosa Arts and Healing in Christina Lake, British Columbia, Canada, where Nicole explored the sacredness
of water and the role of storytelling as ceremony and ritual. The result is a performance that flows between memory, myth, and poetry—inviting audiences into a space of reflection, reverence, and emotional release.
“Water remembers. It carries our stories, our sorrows, our strength and our future. This piece is a love letter to the women who grieve, and to the waters that hold us while we do,” says Palomba. “Additionally, in these times of women being targeted for our bodies and our values, it felt more important than ever to speak up about how important women’s care and freedom is.”
Nicole is an alumna and current faculty member of the MFA Acting International course at East 15 Acting School, where she continues to explore the intersections of performance, ritual, and embodied storytelling in her teaching and creative practice—while encouraging students to include their own storytelling cultures in their work.

It will be re-imagined by Inter-Act in the wake of the death of one of the group's members (around whom much of the play was written).

“One of the most absurd and hilarious beings we have ever had the pleasure of meeting, his ability to amuse and confuse his subjects is second to none” HENGE
Mr Vast – aka Henry Sargeant – trained as an actor and ‘dark clown’ before veering off into music as frontman for the legendary Wevie Stonder, dubbed by the BBC as “the Monty Python of electronic music”. Expanding on the same brand of anarchic comedy and wild fusion of musical influences, Mr Vast is a one-man show that resists easy definitions: a slapstick cabaret, a surrealist happening, an avant-garde concert, a tragicomic carnival, an ecstatic ritual. Trailer available to watch here.
Carrying the torch of the Great English Eccentric and music hall variety performance into the post-Brexit 21st century, Mr Vast also draws on the Theatre of the Absurd, the archetype of the fool and international folk traditions in his weird & wonderful characters, costumes, masks and props. A metamorphic presence and shamanic compère, Vast takes audiences on journeys into fantastic new worlds, summoning the deepest desires and fears from our collective unconscious.
