Masterful storytelling, daring dance and subversively stupid conversations from this unstoppable artist. Watch It! is an entertaining, tightly organised game show for one about identity, personal truth and political ideology.

Wendy Houstoun teams up with Kate Champion (Australia) and Hannes Langolf (UK, Germany) to create this personal and irreverent solo. Made with financial support as part of DV8 Physical Theatre's Legacy Commissions.
