Watch ELIZA Official Trailer

Appropriating a mockumentary format, Eliza is inspired by lesser known, lesbian, working class, Victorian, ‘poet of the people’ Eliza Cook. Like unfolding a game of exquisite corpse to reveal Alan Partridge, in the get up of a 19th century woman, with the cadence of a camp northerner: Eliza drags the viewer, the unsuspecting public and the artist back / forth through time exploring the overlapping edges of redevelopment, place and queer temporalities.
