A description for this event reads:

"[The performance features] A 2022 creation with a cast of dancers and actors. A live site-specific dance theatre performance journeying through an old curiosity shop as it creeks back to life, each storeroom revealing a more extraordinary, antiquated collection and the unfolding of memories.

Dive into the everyday life of a transgender male through the relatable, hilarious and brutally honest lens of a northern working class family. Whilst 20-something forklift driver Jack navigates the hurdles of transition, family dynamics are shaken up.

Transparency is a transformational solo theatre performance that moves through hard-hitting issues in a way that is at the same time vulnerable, jarring, heartwarming and side-splitting. It carries us through the uncomfortable, sobering and intriguing journey of a fully human transgender life, breaking down the barriers between us.

Jaden Adams is a 29-year-old trans male actor and former gas engineer from an Oldham council estate. In his first touring solo production, he plays five characters, three male and two female.

Transparency is written by Jaden Adams and Mary Cooper and directed by Francesca Murray Fuentes.
