We've met BULLYACHE during Transmissions XIV Festival curated by Marta Salogni.

BULLYACHE is a working class collaboration between friends and artists Tylor Deyn and Jacob Samuel. We both choreograph, direct, score and conceptualise all of our own work. BULLYACHE is the title and character through which we explore and experiment with music, dance and performance. BULLYACHE is in their parents’ makeup: flashing between acoustic balladry and rave somnambulism while feeling comfortable in neither, a hyper regurgitation of capital expectations. Our collaboration started at the end of the Pandemic and so far has been supported by the Arts Council England, PRS, Raze Collective, HAckney Showroom The Place, Britten Pears, Palm Heights Cayman Islands, Bijloke LOD Muziektheater and We are the New Voice Composers of Sound and Music 2021.

2022 has marked a real change of pace for Transmissions, from the new location, in the splendid setting of the new theatre in the heart of the city, to an international line-up of absolute level, selected by the curator Marta Salogni to whom all our gratitude: 13 artists and bands from 7 countries for an 80% female line-up, which gave life to an intense live program throughout 3 days.
The strength of Transmissions has once again demonstrated that it resides in the ability to generate a community around itself: a multicultural, open and multifaceted community that is reflected in a heterogeneous, curious and always, positively, unpredictable proposal. For this we want to thank all the artists who took part in the three days following all the performances scheduled from the audience, but also our audience who from all over Italy (and from the United Kingdom, Austria, France, Spain and Switzerland) reached Ravenna to make this fourteenth edition unique.
Transmissions is promoted by Bronson and it's a festival for true explorers. Its adventure has just begun.
