This hilarious and earnest participatory show sees members of the audience meet and converse with a demon confined within a circle. But it’s not all just giant owls and favourite rocks. While drawing upon 17th century English folklore and biblical mythology to talk about modern day loneliness and isolation, S(t)olas examines connection, companionship, and community (and maybe covens) as the audience learn about the demon and perhaps enable them to escape. Will you help the hapless demon, or seal his fate? This show was performed as part of VOIDSPACE LIVE in July 2025. Additional Information: Possible discussion of war and disfigurement.Participation is voluntary.

About Side/Step Festival
This is the first edition of Side/Step Festival. 102 Upper Street is a restaurant space previously only used on weekends. Deadweight, alongside a number of other creatives, used the space for rehearsals, workshops, performances and fundraisers. It was a life saver to have free space in which we could continue making work. In recent news, we learned that the space would be used full time from March and we would be loosing access to the space. With the closure of The Vault Festival earlier this year, many artists felt the blow of not having a space to showcase their work. This inspired us to make the most of the time we have left with 102 Upper Street and create our own festival for artists who want to try something new and meet a community of creative people. This festival is made together with Deadweight.
