David Wilson's Closet: Re-Hung

Following the success of David Wilson's Cabaret in 2024, we were invited back to collaborate with David Wilson and We Are Playgrounds for the closing production of the 2025 Playgrounds InMotion Festival. David Wilson's Closet: Re-Hung was staged in the Barbican Concert Hall, bringing an unapologetically queer, maximalist work to one of the UK's most significant cultural institutions.

We delivered the full production design and technical realisation. That meant building the complete QLab show file, producing all stage management documentation and call scripts, integrating with the Barbican's lighting and sound systems, overseeing the installation into the Concert Hall and calling the performance on the night.

The work demanded close collaboration, technical rigour and the ability to hold space for chaos without losing control. Standing ankle-deep in confetti at the end of the night, it was clear this was a production built on trust, shared ambition and a willingness to push form and expectation.

At a time when the arts are under pressure and conversations around identity, inclusivity and creative freedom feel increasingly contested, staging unapologetically queer work within a national institution feels both rare and vital.
