Description

The world is in crisis and so is Sian Clarke. Never mind, it will probably be ok. Let's all just try to have a nice time. Welcome to iCON, a show where everything is probably fine. In a world that is crumbling and thoughts are spiralling, and the void you used to scream into for sweet relief tells you to go f*ck yourself, Sian Clarke asks: can we all just try to have a nice time for once? A show about the world, a show about a breakdown, a show about... it doesn't f*cking matter at this point anyway.
