Chrome Yellow is a solo performance by Wayne Stewart tracing the contradictions of his 650-mile walk across France in search of meaning and clarity, and the existential unraveling that followed. In July 2021, Wayne set off alone from Saint-Malo in Brittany to the Mediterranean town of Argelès-sur-Mer, hoping to find answers. What he returned with was a spiritual awakening, a peculiar obsession with the colour yellow, and a story he didn’t yet know how to tell.

Blending storytelling, travel journal entries, and song, Chrome Yellow is a sharply observed and unexpectedly funny meditation on mental health, connection, and the chaos of trying to figure things out. Wayne walks the line between despair and hope, reflection and absurdity, with poignant honesty and sharp wit. Though deeply personal, the show resonates widely - particularly with those navigating the spaces between uncertainty and purpose. It is at once intimate and expansive, tender and absurd, and offers audiences space to reflect, laugh, and perhaps recognise something of themselves in Wayne’s accidental optimism.

Wayne Stewart is a Jersey-born and based writer, director, performer, and teacher, with a background in stand-up comedy, theatre, and interdisciplinary performance. His work fuses storytelling, movement, comedy, and song to create humorous yet thought-provoking experiences that explore identity, human connection, and the search for meaning. Beginning his journey in theatre at Jersey Arts Centre’s YouTheatre, he later honed his craft in stand-up before expanding into a broader theatrical vocabulary, embracing character work, movement, and music. Over the past decade, he has written, directed, and performed original solo works, including Chrome Yellow and Indigo Moon, which blend absurdist humor with moments of poignancy.
