About Andrew Neil Hayes
Hostage Part 2 is a new live work for small audiences by Bristol-based artist Andrew Neil Hayes. Using live and pre-recorded video projection together with the body, this 30-minute performance creates an intimate space to explore the boundaries between outer and inner worlds. It asks whether the internet has now taken the place of our body as a container for the self. Presented at Concrete Block as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, the work sits within Theatre and Performance art/Experimental categories.
Why see this show?
An intimate, thought-provoking encounter between body and screen. If you're curious about how digital life reshapes identity, Hayes offers a quietly unsettling space to sit with that question — up close and personal.
