Chris Thorpe is a writer and performer from Manchester, UK. His work has touched on nationality and borders, political and social systems and their relationship to confirmation bias, our collective psychology around the climate crisis – and most recently the construction of cultural hierarchies and Iranian pop music (Things Hidden Since The Foundation of the World with Javaad Alipoor), and nuclear disarmament and global diplomacy (A Family Business with Staatstheater Mainz and China Plate).
