SUMMARY:Dre Spisto & Joana Nastari: 50 Ways to Kill a Slug
DESCRIPTION:Pay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm\, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience \nIn a pristinely manicured garden\, amidst the bucolic borders\, lurk two shameful pests. These horny slimeballs just want to chomp\, chew\, spit\, live\, lust and die freely in an ever more hostile home. \n50 Ways To Kill A Slug is a multi-sensory celebration of slugs as the anarchic icon we’ve been waiting for: soft\, unruly and disgusting. \nAs slugs\, the artists explore the slowness\, silliness and sensuality needed to sustain their resistance across generations. \nJoana (Fuck You Pay Me\, My Uncle is Not Pablo Escobar) and Dre (El Dizzy Beast\, Butch Princesa) are award-winning theatre makers whose love for the slug as the ultimate underdog has brought them together to make this ecstatic exploration of radical rest\, toxic productivity and belonging. This show is nonverbal and we invite audiences who would benefit from watching shows without spoken language. \n“A fantastic gift for capturing the full sensory experience.” ★★★★ London City Nights on Joana Nastari“Euphoric.” ★★★★★ The Hive on Joana Nastari“So unique it takes the category box and smashes it into oblivion.” ★★★★ The List on Dre Spisto“Stunning.” ★★★★ The Scotsman on Dre Spisto \nCreators and Performers – Joana Nastari and Dre SpistoProducer – Stef FeltonOutside Eyes – Claud Palazzo and Ursula MartinezCreative Captioner – Ben GloverSound Designer – XANASet Designer – Malena ArcucciCostume Designer – lambdog1066Technical Stage Manager – Florian Lim \nSupported by Arts Council England\, Shape Arts and NDMAC.

SUMMARY:Ali Matthews & Co: Mushroom Language - A Fungal Gothic
DESCRIPTION:Pay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm\, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience \nMushroom Language: A Fungal Gothic \nThey eat nappiesThey eat toothbrushesThey eat bombsThey eat newspapers about how the world will end…a species running slowly in parallel preaching change silently digesting muck into matter and back again. \nMushroom Language: A Fungal Gothic is about the cycles that shape us – eruption\, reproduction and decay. It’s about role-playing the lichen love stories\, spore shoot-outs and truffle siren songs found in our forests. \nIn an eerie and funny homage to folk horror\, two human performers absorb and mimic ‘mushroom language’ through ritual and power dynamics. Who are these creatures\, and what are the mushrooms trying to tell them? Dreamlike conversations and movement sequences are underpinned by original music from composer Hannah Miller (of the Moulettes) and playful design by Rūta Irbīte. \nMushrooms offer us a lens into a more sustainable future\, but nature is hilarious and terrifying. \nClick here for visual access guide
