Meet the Winners of this year's Untapped Award!
HAVE YOU HERD: Untapped is back for another year!
Underbelly has been working in partnership with New Diorama Theatre and Concord Theatricals UK to support three ground-breaking companies make their way to the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Expect an exploration into the precariousness of the present through Science and Magic, some live grappling of untrained and impersonated aviation, unexplainable romantic feelings at a holy communion, an attempt to answer how in fact we are meant to keep one another safe when the world is on fire and lots and lots of catholic guilt.
We couldn't be more excited to introduce you to our three Moo-valous winners.
Ways of Knowing
A descent into darkness, a cloud of unknowing, a startling revelation. Behold! A council of leeches, a mystic hermit, a Victorian inventor, an economics conference, a dark and dripping cave.
Ways of Knowing delves into the ways we predict and prophesy the future. Amidst an intricate system of choreography, found text and live sound, Emergency Chorus wield science and magic to reckon with our precarious present and enter into the unknown.

JEEZUS!
Falling for Jesus is a mortal sin. But damn, it feels good! Good South American altar boy Jesús is preparing for his first communion but when he looks at the hot man on the cross, he feels something... unholy.
Catholic guilt collides with unrepentant queerness in this sinful, heart-pounding mix of live music, dark humour and Latin heat. JEEZUS! is a musical as irreverent as it is irresistible, tackling colonialism, religion and queer awakening. If Bo Burnham, Brecht and Bad Bunny had a baby, this would be it. Let's burn in hell!
