Abstract: Burgerz, first staged in 2018, is a one-person show by British theatre-maker and writer Travis Alabanza. The production re-enacts an incident of transphobic violence Alabanza faced in 2016, during which an assailant threw a burger and yelled a transphobic slur at them. This essay argues that cooking onstage and audience participation combine to create an experience of solidarity among audiences at the performance. It explores how Burgerz incorporates modes of sociality familiar to queer nightlife venues, which in turn helps to facilitate the show's participatory strategies in theatre audiences. Solidarity-making emerges as something spectators feel with one another as an audience unit, with the performer, and with those the performer speaks about in the performance: trans and gender non-conforming people who experience violence in the public sphere. This encourages greater sensitivity towards transphobia and encourages audiences to practise modes of support for and alongside those facing transphobic violence in and beyond the time of performance.

Abstract: This article explores the political and ethical implications of performance representing the ongoing realities of migration in contemporary Britain. Using Good Chance Theatre's The Jungle (2018) as its point of departure, the article problematizes the use of dramaturgies of proximity to confect simplistic notions of empathy as tantamount to political change. In a Brechtian vein, the article argues for modes of distanciation to foster critical engagement among audiences at the site of contemporary performance on migration. Focusing upon the production's West End transfer, its use of immersive strategies and its use of a comedic model to address ongoing issues in migration, this article finds that such strategies are not as politically transgressive as marketing and critical reception often contend them to be, with the onus of responsibility placed solely upon the individual spectator.
