Moot Moot

Cade & MacAskill
Performance, 2018 - 19

It’s all about you and your opinions… so get in touch!​

Cade and MacAskill take on the roles of doppelgänger radio hosts Barry and Barry, batting banter back and forth in their surreal phone-in talk show. Seeking connection with the world beyond, they can only tune into the white noise at the edges of their outer space echo-chamber. MOOT MOOT is a weird and wild trip through never-ending feedback loops; a riotous rhythmic transmission for our times.

​Cade & MacAskill combine forces to create this absurd show touching on loneliness and meaninglessness in the age of non-stop communication, with a unique sound world devised by Yas Clarke. See them desperately grasp at meaning in a post-truth world, where all facts are moot.

Spooky, sinister, skilful
– VoiceMag
A side-splitting spectacle that highlights our modern era’s destruction of opinion with captivating use of sound and minimal set.
– The List
Sharp, smart, and seriously entertaining. The rapid ping-ponging back and forth of listener-hungry phrases is consummately timed and hilarious
– The Herald

"funny, sinister, witty, entertaining, intelligent, original - brilliant!"
– Audience tweet
