London’s Perverted Children, July 10-14 2012

Hi all. I will be performing my new show, London’s Perverted Children, at the wonderful new amphitheatre at The Yard, Hackney Wick. The show is a part of ‘The Theatre of Great Britain’ festival that runs from 3-28 July 2012. It is a different beast from Kalagora (the play), and I’m excited to be working with live music on this one. Zoltan Nagy (electronics) and Tobias Hug aka the ‘Black Forest Ghetto’ (vocals, beatbox) are the musicians on board. Tickets and further details are available here. It is a piece that is rooted in East London, particularly Hackney, which is undergoing rapid change due to its proximity to the Olympics. The piece will also feature street photography as well as some A/V work and video design by Kent Hugo. I’ve set up a Flickr account, which I’ll be updating on a regular basis.

And here are some new East End photographs:

The focus is on the relationship between the grotesque and the city.

This show, which follows the work done in Kalagora, marks another step in engaging with these stories.
