Speed is Emotional
“Living life at high voltage”
Barbarian’s Artistic Director Jo Randerson has a brain that never stops and a fountain of restless energy fuelling their fiercely funny artistic voice. And the spring that feeds that fountain? A lifelong superpower, which they had diagnosed in their 40s alongside their son: ADHD.
In Speed is Emotional Jo bares their soul, sharing the exhilaration, exhaustion, joy, and absurdity of living and parenting with neurodiversity. Jo weaves their punk poetic magic into a beautiful comedy about transcending labels and living with a voltage so high it’s going to blow the mains.
Speed is Emotional premieres in 2025 in the following locations:
