Theatre Of Wholiness With Lumi The Host

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this May, there is a show coming up at The Lantern Theatre that caught my eye. On May 14th, the venue is hosting Theatre Of Wholiness With Lumi The Host. It is billed as a queer cosmic cabaret, which is a bit of a unique mix—part theatre, part ritual, and part what they call a 'glitch in the matrix'. It sounds like the kind of intimate space where the focus is on exploring identity and finding a bit of lightness, which is always a welcome change of pace.

The show is led by Lumi The Host, who describes themselves as a 'glitch-witch storyteller'. From what I have gathered, the performance is structured around guiding the audience through various archetypes, using a blend of humour, embodiment, and presence. It is framed as a celebration of 'queer becoming' and the idea of returning to oneself, focusing on the concept that wholeness is something to be activated rather than chased. The tone is described as playful, tender, and disarming, which suggests it might be a thoughtful evening rather than just a standard performance.

It is interesting to see this kind of work landing in Brighton, especially given the description of it being a space where identity shifts and joy acts as a form of medicine. If you are into performance art that leans into myth, mischief, and metamorphosis, this might be worth checking out. It feels like one of those events that relies heavily on the atmosphere created between the performer and the audience, so if you are in the mood for something that prioritises connection and a bit of cosmic storytelling, it could be a good fit for your calendar.
